YouTube loading: why so slow?

[GrabberOrange69]

For the last week, any video I open at youtube takes FOREVER to open/play. :wtf It appears my computer or the site is waiting for the entire clip to download to the temp folder before playing. I'm an analog guy living in a digital world, so I can't figure out if I can change this, or has youtube changed?

This is the proverbial cry for help.

No changes that I have seen......

I get the same thing, I have to hit pause and wait for the ghosted bar to load to the end then hit play and it will play through without stopping then.

Oh by the way, go ahead and jump.

No idea on the cause, but I've seen some vids load ok, and others take forever.

I have noticed that the interweb in general has seemed to be slower the last few days.

Some Youtube's take forever but this last week I see nothing out of the ordinary.
