Posted October 16, 2014 To be forewarned this is basically going to be a rant... So I have downloaded a YouTube down-loader, and this is not because I saw a video that I thought was awesome, and I wanted to have it on my PC... no it is because here in my town in Michigan my internet is so bad that I simply can not watch a video in ANY resolution with out stuttering, or buffering all the time! I use to have 6mbs, but we had to down grade to 1mbs, because the towers are overloaded (we run off wireless, because we have no choice), and guess what we don't even get the advertised speeds, if we even get internet at all (I have come home to not being able to use the internet for a couple hours!), but sometimes in a blue moon I will be able to watch about 10secs of video in 720p... I even called my ISP multiple times, and every time they go "we are planning to upgrade soon" refusing to give any real date, and never fucking doing it! OH! and another kicker is that my town has fiber optic running through most of it, which is only used by my school (which is why if my phone needs a update I just wait for a school day... or just use my 3g which is faster and more reliable than my home), because they charge out the ass just to send a cable a couple of feet, and what do you get out of that investment... 6mbs down and 1 up, yeah, a great fucking use of fiber optic! This why when I hear about the shit that companies like Comcast are pulling I get especially pissed, because their business practices are going to lead us to what I have to deal with every day, slow ass hell speeds, with horrid reliability, and piss poor customer service! And most people are either to ignorant to realize they are being taking advantage of, or know, but aren't willing to do anything about it! Sorry for the long ass rant, but when I get home from a long day and I can't even unwind, by watching youtube, or even skype and check my email at the same time... I get a little edgy! P.S. after almost a hour I managed to download a 5:15 in 1080p!

Posted October 16, 2014 That's most ISP's. Giving you shit compared to what is advertised. Except for me, for some reason I get 3+ more mbps down and 1+ more mbps up then what I pay for....and it's comcast. Don't know how that happened.

Hm, maybe it was a specific update at the time that caused issues with the loading. I would try it again, it might work for you this time. And what video formats do you have to choose from?

Much more convenient than downloading I will bet that there is still something left over, I don't know what but it sounds like it is not a large dev. Even if it is then still, many don't know to delete everything that create which is partly why windows get so slow after 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it is then still, many don't know to delete everything that create which is partly why windows get so slow after 6 months. Buffering videos loads them to RAM, it does not save on your PC. By buffering the whole video, it will store it in RAM cache, and if the video is too long it will make a temporary file for it that gets deleted when you close chrome.
