u/Tony49UK is on the right track in his reply below, they are only partial downloads. Cleaning this up is a high priority for the engineering team, though — if you’d like to follow our progress on this and other issues, please join r/fixthevideoplayer.
PS - We all got a kick out of that video, even if it wasn’t entirely accurate

Apparently they're only partial downloads as a type of speed test to see what your connection can support. It's still a crap way to do it.
