Thanks. Fenderflyer define "long time" And if you mean download as in dl to your computer it's not even possible so that would take a long time, an eternity in fact.  You can only watch.

No, it should start in a matter of seconds actually, are you using dail up, cable, or another kind of connection?

Thats why, you should get DSL (cable) internet which will make it a lot faster.

I have 512kbps high speed but my download is usually 60-70kbps on average (dunno why). I have to take about 20 seconds to view a main video without any interruptions and about 40-60 seconds to view the small broken up video lessons.
If it takes time just leave your computer on to load the lesson and then get back to it later (best you can do). Also close all other programs that use the net (Limewire, BitComet and dont surf other sites). And use a good anti virus and spyware program to remove viruses. Here are some good free ones (only download one otherwise they wont be effective: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Dest...tml?tag=lst-0-8 http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2007-Defi...tml?tag=lst-0-2 http://www.download.com/1-2-3-Spyware-Free...tml?tag=lst-0-4 THis should help  Note: All of the links provided are legal and free without any piracy -------------------- __________________________

Speed is also dependent on the contention ratio (more or less the ratio of users to the connection) and line/signal quality.
Might not be relevant for you Greg but where I live in Spain a lot of people use a shared microwave connection. You can pretty much tell when it's 2pm as the microwave connection speed drops to a crawl as kids come home from school and adults go home for lunch. Our home connection here is 512 but the actual download speed varies as we run several pcs and a phone to it through a router. If my wife is on the phone the download speed can drop to between 3-5 - that takes something like 30 mins to load a short 2-5mb video to play  .One day we might get a proper fixed telephone line at this house so we can have cheap and decent broadband and then the internet will truly be ours. I'm not holding my breath though. Cheers, Tony QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Oct 26 2007, 05:28 PM) In order to improve the site's performance it would be very interesting for us to know the following from the ones that are experiencing problems. *Do other video sites (such as youtube.com) load quickly for you? The same *In which country are you located? Spain - but not in a city *Are the videos always slow - or does it depend what time of the day you try to view them. Depends on time of day *Has it always been like this, or has there been a recent change? Always Thanks! Kris - my poor video download speed I think is due to the connection here then anything at your end. Nonetheless loading a video can take anywhere between 3-5 mins and upto 1/2 an hour. That's assuming that the hamster who generates the electricity at my ISP by running in his hamster wheel doesn't get tired during the 1/2 hour and go for a toilet break. When he does the connection times out and it's start again. Poor hamster.
