Video buffering times
Does anyone else have difficulty watching vids and stuff - I've been trying to look at some on this site tonight but it takes forever to
'buffer' whatever that is.....it's only a laptop though. Not powerfull enough? It's on broadband if that makes any odds.
I.T. is not my strong point it has to be said...

If it's taking a long time to buffer it suggests the bandwidth on the net connection isn't enough.....
If the computer can download the video in realtime it doesn't need to buffer, if its on a 0.1kb/s connection it'll need to buffer 99%
before it can start playing....
