I�m not sure if you�ve experienced this problem before or not but I assure you I have. Sometimes I am able to view videos from YouTube without problems but sometimes the videos in YouTube would freeze and stops there. I even tried stopping any Internet activity so that the whole 1Mb download connection is reserved for viewing videos on YouTube. Still the same problem� I even tried different web browser and the streaming is still terrible! Thankfully I found a very good accelerator tool that is able to help stream YouTube faster and smoother by reducing buffering problems and video interruptions or �hiccups�. It works on YouTube.com, myspace.com or any other web page with an embedded YouTube video inside.
SpeedBit Video Accelerator is able to reduce YouTube �movie freezes� and �buffering� problems as well as accelerates embedded YouTube videos around the web (MySpace.com, Blogger etc�) It includes extra features such as a cool search feature for finding videos around the web right from your desktop and also automatically bookmarking videos that you�ve accelerated for easy replays.
Totally no configuration needed. Just download, install and run SpeedBit Video Accelerator. You�ll see a small icon on your traybar meaning that the acceleration service is running. Once you visit any of the YouTube videos link, it�ll start accelerating.
With SpeedBit Video Accelerator installed, your browser�s connection to specific streaming video server is being rerouted through the Video Accelerator Daemon. Unlike the normal browser connection, the Daemon uses a unique patent pending technology, that substitutes the single connection with a sophisticated multi-connection algorithm. The end result is an (up to) 5 times faster connection, which handles the cache buffering (the �preloading� of the movie) much more efficiently. See diagram below for easier understanding.
Although the software name sounded like it supported any streaming videos, but it doesn�t. I just tried on Google Videos and there�s no activity on the SpeedBit Video Accelerator. I guess it will only support YouTube for the time being. The official website states �Speeding up YouTube is only the beginning - More video services coming soon!� Can�t wait because I love this program. Never had anymore problems in viewing YouTube videos after installed this wonderful FREE software.
