That's IT?

I was downloading media from the web as early as 1992.

In those days media downloading wasn't as commercial as it is today, and details of the modalities may differ soomewhat, but I can't see anything in this diagram that is specific enough or unique enough or even different enough to be patentable.

He doesn't even posit a unique method for revenue gathering.

Vigorous challenges will be mounted against this patent and whoever buys it had better have deep pockets. Even then, failure is probable.
