    If this is actually happening to him quite often, the

    cause may be his own ''cache / memory'' which is

    filling up. That's especially true if he has seen lots

    of videos or played a lot of games/music.

    If you are experiencing either: A) slugglish loading

    and buffering, B) "choppy" videos which frequently

    start/stop/start/stop, C) the YouTube dotted circle

    looking like it might spin for ever, or D) videos that

    will sometimes come to a sudden "stop" or freeze,

    that is often a sign that your cache/memory is full

    and cannot take anymore.

    Exit out of YouTube (but not your browser) and do

    one of the steps below. Afterwards, shutdown and

    reboot. Not only will this "free up" your computer's

    memory, everything will be "fresh", and load faster:

    Apple Safari 3:

    → Edit → Preferences

    → Security (tab) → Show Cookies

    → Remove All → Done

    after that:

    → Safari → Empty Cache → Empty

    after that:

    → History → Clear History

    Apple Safari 4:

    → Safari → Reset Safari

    [x] Clear history

    [x] Empty the cache

    [x] Clear the downloads window

    [x] Remove all cookies

    → Reset

    DON'T FORGET TO SHUT DOWN AND REBOOT

    AFTER DOING ONE OF THE ABOVE.

    If you have other applications which are running at

    the same time, those will slow down YouTube too.

    If you have "Torrents", you might want to consider

    closing or uninstalling them. A couple people who

    chose me as "Best Answer" wrote that everything

    worked great after they'd uninstalled their Torrents.

    For some reason, simply closing them didn't work.

    Also, "Adblock Plus", various Instant Messengers

    and literally every "stupid video accelerator" under

    the sun is known to interfere with YouTube.

    Another thing you may want to consider is turning

    off your anti-virus -- but only momentarily. As long

    as you remain on YouTube (and do not wander off

    to other websites), you will be okay, because you

    cannot get a virus from YouTube.

    And lastly, you can easily check your speed here:

    This may be due to corrupt windows registry. The registry system is a really complicated one in the operating system. There are zillions of registry entries stored in the database which contains information about the softwares, hardwares and other files and programs present in our computer. One unfortunate thing that almost every Windows user encounters at some time is that his computer registry gets corrupted. Most people who become victim of the registry corruption find themselves clueless as they could not figure out why their anti-virus and anti-spyware software are not finding any solution for the common PC errors such as the crashes, freezes and annoying pop-up error messages. Not only this, by using a number of computer protection softwares, people make their computer slower than before. The best way is to run a registry scan and clean registry. It not only remove many type of errors but also speed up computer. For a look at one of the best registry software, run a free scan from Intel Directory http://ibx.intel.com/directory/productpage/tabid/8...

    This will sort out your problem.

    keep in mind the significant truth about warmth, is that warmth rises. warmth growing from bottom to correctly is what's going to make the ice dice melt fastest, no longer what's round it. the 2d ingredient might want to be the ambient air around the ice dice. end both one in all them, and also you end the melt. something you could placed below the dice, which incorporates insulation, foam, etc might want to help to end warmth move up. also, if allowed, insulate around the side or perhaps the properly of the ice dice. If i might want to ruin out with it, i'd fill the total plastic container with an insulation fabric, like foam or fiberglass, except for the small section that truly precisely matches the ice dice. i'm no longer sparkling no matter if the guidelines of this mission help you to encompass the dice in something else, yet when no longer, the area less than the ice dice should be your concentration. i'm no longer sparkling on the guidelines right here, so i'm no positive what's permitted or no longer. if you're allowed to placed different chilly gadgets interior the tank, freezing great gravel or perhaps bricks may help keep chilly interior. also, in case you employ dry ice, the pelletized version is larger. It "melts" quicker, yet keeps issues chillier. back, less than is larger than round. also, remember to by no potential contact dry ice with bare epidermis, because the bright chilly will reason a "burn" to epidermis. yet another concept might want to be to imagine about the plastic case's ecosystem. In an 80 degree room, the ice dice might want to soften quickly. yet, in case you've been allowed to submerse a sealed plastic container in 40 degree water and weight it down, the dice might want to soften a lot slower. this may be an option determination to guage, if allowed. wish this facilitates.
