title: Load testing of Progressing download(Video) or Larger files download
body: <p>I am looking at load testing of Progressive download video files with 100 user load. The testing tool I am looking at is <strong>Jmeter, Load Runner and NeoLoad</strong>. Though the script required for creating the load is very simpler, it consist of couple of request and it is able to make the connection with server and start the downloading of the file. Though I understand that the progressive technology is pretty old, but still it is used in many website.  The question I have is around the strategy.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Do we need to download the complete file(i.e. 1.3 GB in my case)?</li>
  <li>Even we looked at saving the response as file, the resources such as Network and disk I/O are at max? Does this strategy suits here?</li>
  <li>Can we have some another strategy where we can engage the server for the duration and test for issues underlying with connection issues and transmission speed?</li>
  </ol>
