Description Marc González Majoral 2014-01-28 19:41:17 UTC 
When you open a a website with an embedded video and start playing it, it will completely download even if you close the website's tab.

I'd say this isn't the best behaviour, especially if you have a slow internet connection and a huge video you don't want to see automatically starts playing.

The only way I found to end the video download is killing Konqueror's process.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open website with HTML5 video
2. Start playing the video
3. Close the tab the video is in, see how it keeps downloading
Actual Results:  
Video doesn't stop downloading

Expected Results:  
Video should stop downloading

Haven't tried this with other HTML5 media, but it might happen with audio, etc.. too
