Problems with Utube.

Do other people have problems watching videos on Utube? I don't use it often but each time I have they have been unwatchable due to buffering every 30seconds. This is not HD stuff but short two or threee minute films. For instance yesterday i wanted to watch a small demo film on carpet dying but it stopped every ten seconds or so making it impossible to watch.

Re: Problems with Utube.

I was watching a 12 min one this morning, Win 7 Firefox, 14000 synch, down sped 11000
The down load pink line was half way along - 6 min and I was looking at 3 min and was getting the rotating arrow about every 15 sec, most odd, not much else running

Yes and this has been going on for some time as far as I can tell. I think I have tried to watch a short movie about three times in the last few months and each times had the same problem.

Re: Problems with Utube.

Has anybody tried packet capturing the traffic to make sure it's being classified correctly? I'd also be interested to know whether or not there's a noticeable difference before/after 4pm each day?

It's classified as gold 0x80 at the moment...if I'm reading the capture correctly.

As far as I recall both times when I've tried to watch a video it's been on a Sunday afternoon. I don't use the Internet much in the evenings normally.
