    Watching YouTube videos/versus download time.....

    Hi guys.

    I'm home allot now and youtube can pass many hours and usually I have no issue; It is not on my end!!

    Anyhow, I'm trying to get a thread cutting quick change gearbox modded to my newly purchased Logan lathe on there which is common and even if I leave the tab open and surf somewhere else while paused, I go to another website for a few minutes and the damn video never downloads. It is impossible to concentrate when 10 seconds play and then it pauses for so long. Not just a few seconds, it ends up minutes and then stops again.........

    Is there a way to download the whole video using Mozilla and a good PC with Windows 7 to be able to watch it without hesitation?? I need some information and this pausing etc. is driving me CRAZY.

    Is this because of the users upload speed was so slow? IDT it should matter. When I leave and give it time it should be all set. NO?????

    Maybe it's me, the wrong time of day or how it was uploaded itself.

    How do I deal with this?? Thanks so much for any help, I feel like a moron with this thing.

    Thank you!!

    I would check into your service first. Question #1 - what is your Internet speed you are being provided? (check your internet bill - it will tell you) #2 run a speed test - what are your results?

    If you have google chrome you can use a plugin called flash downloader, will give you a download button below every video, easy peasy.

    I have high speed Verizon Fios, I have checked the speed test and I am super fine; It's on there end.

    One day I can watch 50 youtube vidz with no issues, suddenly they won't fully load. It is a day by day occurance...

    I tried to watch Travis P nail a BF and 360 and the slut won't fully load, I have to play with it. Don't mind me as I am disgusted.

    It sounds like your connection might be buffering because YouTube automatically adjusts video quality based on real-time bandwidth. You can try lowering the video resolution (like 480p) or clearing your browser cache. Also, check if any background apps are using bandwidth. If you’re using Firefox, there are add-ons that let you preload or buffer the full video before watching.
