    Seems over the past two weeks, YouTube vids are taking forever to stream. Not all vids, but most. Doesn´t seem to matter if they´re HD or not, infact, some vids stream quicker in HD than normal. Bizarre.

    Anyone else having this prob?

    Nope - download malware and scan your PC.

    Yep, google have made a mess of Youtube. I sometimes can't stream Youtube vids, even when I'm getting full speeds (6.5Mbit) on speedtests.

    It´s definately a network issue as it´s happening on all connected clients. Have sniffed the network and there is no unauthorised traffic.

    I just don´t understand why some videos take forever to load on LQ but load fast on HQ or HD.

    I wonder is it YouTube or our ISP.

    Snap !

    I just had the same problem myself so instead of the title of song I was looking for , put the bands name in the search and it gave me all the bands songs, including the one I was looking for . You could try it
