My DSL is just a hair to slow unless it is a low res video.  I get about 
768Kb down and I swear they make it so it will stop just enough to annoy 
the crap out of a person so you will upgrade to a faster package.  o_O   
Grrrrrr.  Anyway, I just download it first then play it with smplayer.  
No stopping and all that then.  If I don't like it, dump and move on.

I did find that tool once but I'm not real sure how it works.  I sort of 
browsed around the pages a bit but just fell back to the plugin.  May 
end up using it tho.

I will try just watching it in a bit and see if it crashes.  I can start 
it then hit pause and resume after it gets a real good start.  That 
could lead to something.  ;-)

Thanks.
