Youtube?
on: August 10, 2008, 17:32:26 PM
Is it my connection throttling or have youtube seriously capped their download speed?

for even a short 1m 30s video it takes more than 5mins to fully download, makes youtube pretty much unuseable.

Ive only got a 1mbit line but I allways get 120kbps download on utorrent/limewire and general downloads.

Perhaps you used it at peak time. About 8pm and everyone and their dog is on there.
