Abstract

A method for recording a complete stream of live data packets from a server in a media cache with reduced server-cache bandwidth includes utilizing a first amount of server-cache bandwidth to receive only a portion of the complete stream of live data packets from the server, determining when the stream of live data packets from the server finishes, thereafter utilizing a second amount of server-cache bandwidth to receive missing portions of the complete stream of live data packets, and combining the portion of the complete stream of live data packets and the missing portions of the complete stream of live data packets to form the complete stream of live data packets in the memory.
