Likely reason is that most ISP's are limiting single streams.

Websites load fast, because they exist for example out of 10 pictures/banners/graphics, so that's 10 streams simultaneously at for example 30 kBps each (so total transfer speed is 300 kBps).

A single video stream will also come in at 30 kBps, which is not enough to give your steady video.

One solution is to use a free program called "bywifi" (just Google). This program will split up the video in sections, and start to download them simultaneously, so the total speed goes up. It goes automatically.

When watching a video, click on pause, wait 15 seconds and then click play, and chances are the rest will come through in one time...

thanks monty for your advice i will try "the pause and re click".

What program do you use ? I have TOT and use IDM IntDownload Manager and have no trouble whatsoever, as long as I have a connection so.......a lot of trouble :-)

Which browser do you use?

Are running XP or another OS?
