How do you stop Youtube videos loading?
I follow a few blogs, and usually they will have a few youtube videos on. Sometiems I'll watch them, but if i stop after a while cos the video was crap it will still carry on downloading like a 5 minute clip.
My internet speed is a really random so sometimes it will go really slow, so loading a youtube clip just kills the internet, so is there a way that i can completly stop it continuing to load while i read the rest of the blog (and atempt to watch other videos on it) or browse on other tabs. may some task manager for internet usage.
I have Firefox, in case theres a handy add-on that can do this.

Install the noscript add on & you can leave you tube off the whitelist, so it will not start unless you allow it:

If you want to have all flash blocked, then install the flashblock add on:

If you load a page & it is taking a long time & you want to stop flash immediately, install the flash killer add on:
