How does adaptive bitrate streaming differ from progressive download?

Progressive download delivers a single fixed-quality video file. If the viewer's bandwidth drops below the file's bitrate, playback stalls. ABR creates multiple renditions and delivers small segments instead, so the player can downgrade quality temporarily rather than stopping entirely. This makes ABR far more reliable for enterprise audiences with mixed network conditions.
