I recently built a core i7 computer,overclocked to 4.0ghz, 6GB RAM,upgraded to highest speed interwebs possible(in my area), 8MB- downloads.

My youtube downloads videos etc last night was effin crazy, it was downloading streaming FULL throttle. Now today its seems like its back to balls, and i havnt changed any setting,memory etc,, on my computer.
is it youtube thats effed up or my effin computer.
ive run avast, malware, cleaners, etc... no avail..

computer folks chime in here, and my internet service is showing serious download speeds and uploads too,
like 15-25mb downloads, and 5- 7mb uplaods.

OH also added a SSD, hard drive, running windows 7 on it, best investment ever, effin Solid state drives are effin hard core.
anybody ?

Maybe you could explain the problem more clearly... are YouTube videos loading slowly, or are the videos just lagging?

Um, mebe b/c people watch youtube at work where they get paid, not at home in the evening when they can do stuff.

Point being, don't think it has anything to do w/ your machine. These things just fluctuate sometimes.
