Use caution! This screensaver does not cache any of the videos. It just streams high quality video over and over each time it’s activated. My brother got hit with a $900 over usage bill last month because of this screensaver. It had consumed over 1TB of data in one month.

@ Zhivko
Don’t worry about the speed as the actual speed of the screen saver is very slow. It’s not your PC’s problem.
