does anyone know what causes YouTube buffering? it happens about one or two days every few weeks and it drives me nuts. YouTube is my TV.

normally slow network your end, but can also be lots of requests for the file from their end too. or possibly if you use it a LOT they are capping your usage, never really heard of Youtube doing it though.

I get it almost every video (but i got crappy connection most of the time) but normally its under 30 seconds but sometimes a few mins.

I used to get all kinds of crap when I tried the HTML5 versions of their videos. Went back to Flash and I have no problems. But I also pay more for one of the highest-speed connections available in the States.
