Does repeating (not reloading page) youtube videos consume bandwidth?


Does flash store youtube videos in the browser cache or get downloaded everytime you repeat the video ( not reloading the browser) by clicking the repeat button.

Also how about videos played in youtuberepeat.com? I am curious since I don't want to become a bandwidth offender at work.

I searched for results online and I couldn't find anything appropriate that would answer my question and hence resorting to the geeks at stackoverflow.

Edit:

argh.. I could have just switched off my wireless in my laptop when I am at home to find this... nevertheless would love to hear from you guys!

Edit:

I have tried loading a youtube video and youtuberepeat video, both of them works with my wireless switched off. looks like the browser's cache is storing this information.
