Streaming vs downloads

I'm currently on BT broadband and have a data useage limit monthly. I watch quite a lot of videos on the internet (Youtube and the like) and was wondering whether these count towards my data transfer limit (Not even sure if that's what it's called!) or whether it's just downloads.

Yes they do. Everything counts.
