Solve : Youtube kills internet?

Answer»

Hello,

When I watch a video or listen to music on youtube the whole video does not load, it goes on uninterrupted but it doesn't matter if I WAIT 1 hour, the whole video will not load even if its a small music video of 5 minutes.
When I click on somewhere that is not loaded I lose my connection. For example if Im watching a movie and its just started and its at 2 minutes and if I want to to check out how the movie is and decide to click in the middle (40 minutes) I lose connection since youtube wont load the movie fully. I can watch youtube with no problem but I cant fast forward anything.

If I fast forward on youtube, it kills my connection and it doesn't come back unless I restart the computer, I've tried logging off and back on with no success.




I got good internet, no problems with any other video players.

Dell
Optiplex 380
Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU
E5300 @ 2.60GHz

Ram 4.00 GB (3.21 GB can be used)

WINDOWS 7 professional - 32-bytes

All in all its a worn out computer but as far as I know there are no viruses on it I've experienced that but it seems to vary or depend on the particular video. I suspect numerous factors could be at play here, including some which have nothing to do with your computer or Internet connection.

Let's do a little experiment. I just viewed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyYy7dmAnM8 and had no problem jumping ahead a few minutes, two times, by hovering my mouse over the slider BAR showing time and clicking on it. I'm using the Opera browser on my Windows 8 laptop.

Try that video and let us know what happened. BTW Im using google chrome

Odd but yes, I clicked back and forth 10+ times with no problems, but as USUAL it only loads 40seconds ahead, continually.
That reminded me to check if a temporary video file was saved so I checked C:\Users\"Username"\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache and I found no copy of anything I've watched so far, just MENTIONING it since every little detail might lead to a solution

I'll try Opera and see if there is anything different with it.
