If I'm at home, will I stil be limited to my ADSL upload speed or will I be able to stream at the speed of my WLAN?

Orb does sense that "you're at home" and re-routes.
To the real answer. Pocket file explorer while network aware is not capable of execute in place (by some flawed design decision) but other 3rd party applications are well capable of it.
www.ghisler.com (Total Commander) is free and works quite well if you are versed in pathnames. Resco Explorer (not free) is an incredibly well thought out application which can even map out shared folders taking the hard work of having to remember //192.168.1.100/c:/shared docs/my crap/ I'd really recommend if bugdet is no consideration.
