Information in sent through the internet in packets or bundles and then it is assembled by your computer, tablet, phone, etc., to provide video and/or audio. Your device's playback application will buffer these packets so as to provide smooth play. If your video or audio pauses, then the buffer has been depleted and your application is waiting for the buffer to replenish. The files you are seeing are the buffer and the application will manage the buffer as is required, if the app is functioning correctly.
