Your ISP might be using a slow Youtube caching server...Some guys over here explain it... The relevant post: I've managed to block those caches! What you need to do is use Windows Firewall (or iptables if you're linux) to block 206.111.0.0/16. As far as I can tell, this won't block any other websites hosted on XO, but YMMV. Instructions for blocking with windows firewall here. Once 206.111.0.0/16 is blocked, youtube's player logic will fall back to Google's datacenters and stream at beautiful speeds. And a user testimonial: Mother of god, I've never downloaded a YouTube video so quickly. I haven't resorted to that yet because mysteriously, shortly after someone forwarded me that link, I never had slow youtube again... |
