Question

When veiwing videos why are they broken up instead of playing continueously?

Answer 1

when viewing videos online,  your "buffering".

"Buffering" means that the video is being downloaded as you watch it. so if it doesnt buffer (temporary download) fast enough- the video stops every few seconds.

What you really need is Faster internet access. speak to your internet service provider regarding prices and speeds.

also- if you have many programs running simultaneously that use the internet- shut down whatever u can (p2p applications, instant messaging programs, skype, etc), this is because all these programs are sharing the Bandwidth (connection speed), making everything slow down

making room on your computer by deleting unused stuff- can also help.
