Youtube videos buffer REALLY slow, and it's not just me?

Well, first I though that something is wrong with my connection, but other video sites run all good. I googled and got ton of results...

This is starting to get annoying

I hope you mean buffer because downloading is warez and not allowed.

Yeah same shiet here... :/

What kind of browser are you using atm? I'm using FF 3.6.17 here.

Strange thing is, when I close FF (remember tabs on) and restart it, it works fast again! Caching problems maybe? I have enough free space, that's not the problem, flushing temp files doesn't fix it either...

But PC upgrade is coming this week (8 year old oc'ed PC really needed an upgrade lol), so I can't be bothered with trying to upgrade anything better now.

Same here most of the time, I'm also using Firefox.

What version? 3, 4 or 5 beta or 6 alpha?

Gotta love the new and improved Firefox numbering...

I figured out your problem.

I was hoping to see a few more posts of "me too and i'm using firefox as well, what could this mean!?" before someone said this.

I'm using latest Chrome and am not experiencing any problems.

No problems here.

Firefox AND a s'hitty computer. Eat it, Chrome Domes.

Opera is working wonders here.

I predict you have cable internet, in a populated area?
Yeah..

You claimed it was a browser issue!

My cable and suburban living quarters should not matter.

if it's a vid on a forum/other site, it loads ridiculously slow. Then i just go to youtube itself and it loads as normal. kinda weird :/
