Get a downloader, download the videos and view them offline. ;)

I'm not sure which one to get, but do some research and find a good clean one.
Been using the ANT-Downloader,but every VID on YouTube I D/L only goes to 1.6MB!
Don't know what happened.Used to be able to Download them just fine,but it suddenly stopped.
Can download Videos just fine from other Sites!
Wondered if they were messing around because of Copyright-Issues.
tried one today,and it seems only some VIDS are affected!
But I have the same Issue with skipping as OP!

Ok, I've seen no sensible replies to your youtube video problem yet.

Hit a right click on your TASKBAR whist trying to play a video, and tell me 1) How Much CPU useage it's useing, 2) How Many Processess You're running. Also tell me what OS , CPU speed and amount RAM.
Is this during Full Screen or also whilst Minimised?
It's the little things thst help make a big difference.





Hmmmm..... no sensible relies huh? You have an ego the size of luv2roknroll's heart. Not that your advise was all bad, but it's not something the average user can grasp, plus your approach is abhorrent.


I am actually quite computer savey, as far as the operating system. I used to install operating systems, and rebuild computers. I just get hung up when everything I try is not solving the problem.

I went through everything on this baby, and found alot of BS. I also changed my virus protection back to AVG, and it found trojan horsessurprised so I of course got rid of them.

I need more ram. Pure and simple. I could tell you all the things you want to know, and if getting more ram doesnt work, I will be back answering the questions you asked Just Andy...but I know its the ram! When I get memory usage messsages, I KNOW ITS THE RAM. And those have recently started popping in on Wetopia. It uses alot of your system to run. But ive got Wetopia running good now too, while listening to an online radio station. I have High Speed Internet, so it has nothing to do with connection. I ruled that out long ago. I am ALWAYS on EXCELLENT status.

Im waiting to go to the computer place with my room mate,(he needs to go there this week), and ill slam that in, and let er rip.

I bet cha its gonna RAWKKKKKKKKKk!

Oh and BTW, YouTube works now about 90%. An occasional glitch, that I think the ram will fix.

Hey, thanks for all the help. You guys are ALWAYS there for me! I love my Mingle peeps!:heart:

Glad to hear you have it 90% of the way. How much ram do you have? XP should have at least 1gb and Vista and Windows 7 should have at least 2gb to run decent.

I have 512 MG of ram, dayyum!

So how much more do I get?

This I cant figure out, I dont know a computer megabite from an azzbite.laugh

Let me take a shot though, I would guess I have a little over half of what I should have??

A bit is a 0 or 1, on or off basically
A byte is 8 bits
A kilobyte is 1024 bytes
A megabyte is 1024 kilobytes
A gigabyte is 1024 megabytes
A terabyte is 1024 gigabytes

So yes, if you have 512 megabytes of ram that is half a gigabyte, half of what you need if you are running xp

I haven't seen anything like that, nor have I had any problems with the videos.

Are you sure your computer isn't infelcted possibly, or maybe it's the downloader you're using?

Nope,definitely no Malware!

Hi every1, i like using keepvid dot com to download frm site. And .webm is just another format.. Hope dt helps.
Also when faced with sch problems, one can right click on the clock to select n go to taskmanager. There you check ur mem n cpu usage while the problem repeats itself. If it shoots near cent percent u next go to processes tab n repeat the problem n look for the processes thats stealin the cream.
If no problem here,then it might b a browser object/cookie related problem/or overload on that site. Hope dt helps. Tnx
