Constant stream buffering and interruptions: How to solve the problem?

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

When I try to watch some of the free video streaming, my download speed is so slow that the program plays for 30 seconds, then stops while more of the program loads, plays that for 30 seconds, then stops again to load. Will any of the stream recording software listed take care of that problem?

Please read the following:
Troubleshooting: Poor audio/video quality of a stream

Also try the following:

• disable TCP/IPv6
• install the latest version of your player (like Adobe Flash Player)
• adjust MTU values

You can also use stream recording software to record audio / video streams and save them to your hd. Please note that you can only download on-demand streams, not live ones. Also some streams can't be recorded (you can always use screen video capture software, but it can only help you in case of a good Internet connection).
