Youtube has sure gotten slow.

Downloading a 10 minute 720p video at 50 kb/s D:

its truly ridiculous. and they're rolling out 1080p on top of that? lame.

 

[Leros]

Yep. I can't watch a 1 minute video without at least 3 minute of buffering.

I blame all the people that are downloading the videos...

They should upgrade their bandwidth accordingly

I can't even watch HD anymore. usually have to downgrade to low quality. What sucks is there's no LQ/HQ/HD switch. It's LQ or HD right? You can't get middle of the pack. Then there's times when HQ fails too and I just groan at the huge pixels on my 27" monitor

The only time you're going to see HQ VS HD is if the original video wasn't at 1280x720 or higher. Clicking that button just makes the bitrate higher for the video(1024kbps I think).

Yea, I thought it was just me.

Some days, it'll be fine and a video loads nice and smoothly. Other days, the video will play for 3 seconds and buffer for two minutes. Ugh.

I think the whole site is slow as shit...sometimes even after the videos are DONE streaming the video will continue throughout the duration loading and stopping and buffering...THE VIDEO HAS BEEN DONE DOWNLOADING WHY ARE YOU STILL PAUSING AND BUFFERING?!

Yeah that pisses me off. That and the flashing ring. It will just stop, and the ring just flashes, it does not even do it's normal turn thing like it's loading, it just flashes.

Guess we can't complain for a free service, but it's still annoying.

lol, i thought it was my wireless connection as to all the buffering, so its not just me?

What is worse is when it happens on the porn streaming sites, and you are stuck buffering on a frame of a large dong for 3 minutes.

Maybe it's time you stop watching gay porn if you don't like looking at penises...:biggrin:
