video buffering

[Big Casino]

Why is that sometimes youtube/veoh videos whatever take so damn long to buffer? It was fine an hour ago now all of a sudden i have to wait 20 minutes for an 8 minute video to load ¬¬
Is there any remedy to this besides finding the videos on other sites?
Seriously it drives me up the wall.

My guess would be either your internet connection was having a slow point or the sites were just being a pain for the time being. I know there have been times when I'd have a tough time watching a Youtube video at work because the internet at my job is really bad for the most part. And I know when Youtube is doing site maintainance or whatever, it loads really slow too. And also, for Youtube specifically, every now and again I encounter videos from users that are just really slow. Basically if someone loads the videos in a funky format or the file was large, it'll just always load really slow (any video from that specific user), when videos load fine from a different user.

Anyways, I'm just throwing out there what I've experienced. I'm not an expert with this stuff, so someone else might have a better explanation.
