<li>Google News has been very slow to load</li>
<li>Gmail has been slow to load at times</li>
<li>The Firefox start page has been slow to load</li>
<li>(and this affects me the most) YouTube videos over ~5 min have not been able to load in their entirety, they only partially load and then time out (in the most extreme cases of videos near 10 min long, only the first 30 sec are able to load)</li>
</ol>
<p>Who else notices this?</p>
<p>everything loaded pretty quickly for me...</p>
<p>BTW, I've never had this problem before, and I have a pretty fast DSL connection, so I don't think it is a problem with my Internet connection.</p>
<p>It probably is your internet connection. Sometimes, it'll just be slow because of problems with your provider or something. It should fix itself sooner or later. Either that or it's a problem with your computer.</p>
<p>^
yup. Its probably that. Mine works fine, pretty fast.</p>
<p>maybe its a virus.</p>
<p>All other sites work perfectly fine.</p>
<p>Someone please try to load a Youtube video about 8 min long and tell us how it works.</p>
<p>i've been watching 8 minute long youtube videos all day (i watched pocahontas on youtube with my cousin)</p>
<p>the videos loaded fully and quickly.</p>
<p>are you sure it's not a computer/internet issue?</p>
<p>maybe you should try loading youtube on the same computer but a different browser.</p>
<p>I tried a different browser... doesn't work either.</p>
<p>Ah well. The good news is that after 12 AM, more of the video is able to load for some reason.</p>
<p>google is working okay with me.</p>
<p>Um..my google is fine...Try clearing your cache.</p>
<p>I did.</p>
<p>The good news is that YouTube videos work now after the maintanence yesterday night. Hmmm...</p>
<p>Ah well, that's all that matters. I can go back to listening to my music now w/o interruption :)</p>
<p>Thanks though to all that gave suggestions.</p>
