Playon doesn't rehost the content. It runs on your computer and automates the process of capturing the video stream from a website. So, you have to _actually wait for the entire video to play_ to have it fully downloaded because its nothing more than a screencapture in essence.

The whole thing is a little flaky, but I'm really pleased with what it cost me ($60 if I remember).
