Video downloading freezes

[tongzilla]

Sometimes the downloading just stops or gets really slow about half way through the video. Anyone else experiencing similar problems?

Me too but it is worth waiting for.

Me three. To the point that Windows has to shut down my Firefox browser.

it might be a server problem, i had no issues watching everything late last night

I can watch one or two, then the big freeze begins. My disc drive starts to sound like a washing machine in spin cycle.

It will eventually load. Try pasting the link in Real player ifyou have it, then just let it load at it's own pace. I have watched them all and some take a while to load.

Video never downloads, a new window comes up but nothing happens, the DSL modem flashes a couple of times then screens stays blank. Waited about 15 minutes but nada. I can get #1,#2,#3and #7 but none of the new ones. I have SBC DSL Yahoo and have Quick Time and Real Player. Can anybody help?

Try at night.

Are you trying to run 'online' or 'save to a file'. Try the later, it works for all of today's postings.

Try using mozilla firefox.Videos will pop right up.
Internet explorer took forever.

Ya Firefox keeps screwing up for me....more or less sporatically......sometimes right in the middle....

I noticed the sound kinda goes fuzzy at random times too......sometimes crashes right after.

Trying IE.

...if nothing else I guess you could do "save link as..."

If you right click on the link you will have the option of saving the file ("Save Target as"). The file will save as a Quick Time movie. If you don't have quick time player on your computer you will need to download it. I had problems watching the videos until I downloaded. Now I have no problem.

Also, these videos are phenomenal...

Thank you. Better results.

Guys, the only problem Ive seen with the videos is that sometimes it catches up to the buffer. When you 1st load the page, just pause the video and wait for the bar to go up about 1/4 of the way before starting the video. That way there's enough of a cache that you won't "catch up to it". If you do catch up to it, that's when it seems to freeze.
