adjust buffering time?

[russianboy]

It seems that any site I go to, or anything I download, it takes a while for it to begin downoad, but then it downloads like a rocket, same with youtube, it will be like 3 minutes before the movie starts downloading, then it downloads in three seconds.

My father does not have this problem on his computer, and using different browsers does not help.

I think this is a windows setting, my question is how do you adjust the buffering time?

wmp "tools-options-performance-buffering options"

alternatively just right-click on the player displaying teh video

It may be something else if it`s also happening with youtube (Flash Based) I know you can change it with WMP but Flash.. I don't know.

so didja right-click on the player (i.e. the flash player ?)

There is no option for buffering with web based flash players at least not by right clicking.

under storage settings - tho not necessarily ALL flash players

nothing helped.

but its not only streaming video, it is also downloading, it will be like a minute before the dialog saying save etc. comes up, but when I start downloading, it goes around 1mb/s then it drops to its normal rate.

lol well I don't know what to tell you. If your on a router try a direct connection and see if the lag stops if it does you know it's the router.

 

[russianboy]

well my father uses the same connection and router...so idk.

wireless router? no, its a wired network

but the connection itself is wireless (we have an antenna in my fathers room)

but there is nothing wrong with the connection itself...
