On second thought, you're right. If you're streaming the file, you can skip forward to the point where the server gave up (or perhaps the video player does it automatically?), whereas a simple "save as" in the browser will just stop.
But I suspect the embed will only work for Windows (it doesn't work here), and simply using "wget" or some other downloading program can get around that problem anyway.
it's a wmv file, so yeah....
