Slow Loading With Streaming Media

[Alboguy]

Hey Guys!

My internet connection is great on downloading but it really get on my nerves when watching from youtube or any other streaming media service.
Any idea on what is causing this?

Have you installed the most up-to-date version of Flash?

Albo there is a buffer size for streaming media. It could be adjusted to ur internet speed.

EDIT:

for flash:
Right click in the screen of what is being played through Flash.
Menu down to settings.
Click on the folder icon.
Increase the buffer size.

This will make it take longer for the file to begin to play, but it will play with fewer pauses.

for videos:

see this link

also u can use the following:
Free Video Accelerator for YouTube 3.1
