| | | | Youtube blues..
Anyone else having trouble with watching videos on youtube lately? The videos would load like 2 seconds at a time and keep freezing every 2 seconds. Takes like 5 minutes to watch a 1 minute video. Everything else works perfecto as far as I can tell and only Youtubes giving me trouble lately. |

Now what I'll do is find what I like, go to keepvid and claim it so I can watch it from my. Hard drive at my own schedule.

I have a slow internet connection and I used to be able to let a video sit for awhile and buffer all the way through, but now it only buffers a little and stops, making watching anything a lesson in patience. Is there some kinda setting I'm missing?

| | | | I find it's 50-50. Some video's play with no problem while others do the freeze up that's been mentioned. And what's up with those damn advertisments?!?!? |

Usually if a videos loading slowly I let it sit for a while on pause and browse TB or something but it neber buffs more than 2 seconds of a video at a time. Anyone know when there going to fix this? Been going on for at least 3 days for me... I think. |

I got Chrome, and YT works fine, for the most part. 
Yeah, the ads are getting annoying.

Reason: Wrong wording. Not OS.

As for the speed and buffering issues, I've found different servers act differently, the same when uploading, some fast, some slow. It's really a throw of the dice they have such a larger server farm at this point. If you're having problems try a refresh or copy the link into another browser or window/tab.

| | | | My youtube feed is fine.
Sometimes, it is youtube server issues. Sometimes, it your internet provider's heavy network activity. Sometimes, it is your home's network connection that's slowed down by someone who has hacked into your wireless router and using up bandwidth.
But, I'm a member of the Illuminati so... you know... privileges and stuff.
