1. A method for remotely controlling a streaming media server with a pause and resume functionality, the method comprising:
- transmitting content as a plurality of data packets to a destination;
recording a number of bytes transferred per session;
receiving a pause instruction;
calculating the total number of bytes transferred to the destination before receiving the pause instruction; and
calculating the position at which the content was paused, wherein the position at which the content was paused is calculated based on an algorithm that determines a percentage of the content that is viewed.

22. A method for remotely controlling a streaming media server with a pause and resume functionality, the method comprising:
-
transmitting content as a plurality of data packets to a destination; recording a number of bytes transferred per session; receiving a pause instruction; calculating the total number of bytes transferred to the destination before receiving the pause instructions; and calculating the position at which the content was paused, wherein the position at which the content was paused is calculated based on an algorithm, wherein the algorithm determines the percentage of the content that is viewed based on a data transferred, a total file size, a total running time and a buffering constant.

23. A method for remotely controlling a streaming media server with a pause and resume functionality, the method comprising:
-
transmitting content as a plurality of data packets to a destination; recording a number of bytes transferred per session; reviving a pause instruction; calculating the total number of bytes transferred to the destination before receiving the pause instruction; and calculating the position at which the content was paused, wherein the position at which the content was paused is calculated based on an algorithm, wherein the algorithm determines the percentage of the content that is viewed as a data transferred divided by a total file size, all multiplied by a total running time, minus a buffering constant.
