Problems with stream buffering: Any good alternatives to SpeedBit Video Accelerator?

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

Hi,

I have intermittent problems with audio and video stream buffering. I have tried to download some of them, but some of them are unrecordable. I wouldn't mind using screen recorders or sound card recordres, but they record when the stream is being buffered, so this is not what I'm looking for.

Since I can't watch / listen to some streams online and can't download them, I was trying to find software that could help. SpeedBit Video Accelerator promises to solve buffering problems for video streams:

With a broadband connection, even large HD files play smoothly and beautifully. If the absence of problems when playing online videos constitutes evidence that SpeedBit's video accelerator is doing what it claims it does, then we'll accept that.

but it doesn't work for me. I've tried to find a better alternative to it to no avail.

Please help me to solve audio/video buffering problems.
