Depends where in Oz you live. In north Queensland, I guess below 20
degrees C would be on the chilly side.
In the alps, cold is below freezing.

Last night here went down to about 2 degrees centipede. It will rise to 18
degrees today (forcast).
I find that cold, and we will have a fire going all day.

The "file" will surely download at the same (almost constant ?) speed. The
"playing time" will be transfering elastically, I suspect.

Good to have a buffer to even out the performance of the player.
