    I've had trouble the last few days even weeks.
    First two vids will be fine then the website crawls when loading the next page.

    Weird!

    No problems accessing it here, going a bit better than usual for me actually on an eircom "broadband" connection.

    It can be dodgy here at times too, I don't know why. You'll get slow loading to the point the connection appears dead then it'll work fine a few mins later. Always pings fine (well for servers far away). That's on a solid Digiweb connection, never had a problem that wasn't self induced.

    Exact same problem for me, two vids, then it dies, I started a thread about this is the BB forum a while ago.

    Also you can try speedbit video accelerator to get your videos loading a bit faster aswell, seems to be helping me out a little bit.

    This kind of reaction is soo typical.
    It doesnt work for me, therefore youtube is buggered.

    Its a hell of a lot more likely that your PC/internet connection is crap than a multi million pound extremely distributed site is sh*t.

    Then the post should be "Eircom 3Mb broadband is crap"
    leave youtube (or any other endpoint) out of it.

    not sure if its the same problem as this...


    the problems for some people continue when trying to watch youtube videos on firefox...

    symptoms include a youtube video stopping after 2 seconds...or pausing and being jerky while the buffer is full or filling...
    this does not affect everyone using firefox...but if you are having issues like this then i hope the following helps..

    the problem is with the flash plug-in rather than firefox...


    this solution should work...

    go to here to download to the previous version of flash...

    http://www.oldversion.com/download.php?idlong=3150b017e5723ad172670ae29529573b

    then when you restart firefox it should ask you to load the current version again....do that...
    {if you dont see that message to update..then go to the photobucket site which insists on the latest version - http://photobucket.com/ }

    hopefully that sorts it..
