I feel your pain, man ! I am very rural (no cable), so I have a satellite connection, which is, by its nature, horrifically s-l-o-w. I usually just download any videos with the Real Player Flash downloader and then watch them without interruption. On top of this, I have a 250 Mb per day download limit, so I have to do most of my video downloads during the 2 AM to 7 AM "free period", and that makes for some long nights and short days.
