How to watch Youtube videos on dial up?

Just push play and hit pause right after. the video still uploads to your computer even on pause. It takes probably about a good 5-7 minutes, give or take, for a 1-4 minute youtube vid to upload. The full 10 minute ones does take longer. sitting there and waiting is gonna feel like forever though. I used to get up, get some water, do what I had to do and by the time I came back, the video was ready to play.

Just a small tip for those really 'must see' videos. :cool:

[font=Comic Sans MS]That is exactly what I do.

Sometimes I feel like ripping all my hair out.....I just don't have the patience to wait a long ass time for one video, especially when your computer starts slowing down because of all that loading. :poundingfists:

[font=Comic Sans MS]Have you tried using proxies?

I'm stuck with dial up...at least until my sister finishes paying what she owes for the phone bill, and knowing her it'll take years. :roll:

whats proxies??
i've heard of that but i never really understood the whole thing, just like firewall

[font=Comic Sans MS]Proxie websites let you go into blocked websites. Like when you're at school or work. Back when I was in school I used to go into proxy.org

Just type in the site you want to go to and it lets you go in there, even if they're blocked from work. Try it to see if it works for you.[/font]
