Usually streamed video is not as large because it is compressed more effectively to provide a lag-free viewing experience, as most ISP's do not have enough bandwidth to stream uncompressed video. Also, when you stream a video, it is not downloaded to your computer the same way a normally downloaded video is, it is usually stored in a cache that is deleted when the browser is closed.
