How do I speed up the viewing of videos on my laptop?!?

I can't ever watch videos on my laptop without them freezing up, buffering and going SUPER slow! How do I speed this up? I can watch them with ease on my Blackberry. Why not my computer?

    Maybe your Internet speed isn't fast enough to keep up with youtube/other video websites. when the video starts let it buffer for like a minute or so.

    It could also be the speed of your computer if your computer is slow it might be jurking or laggy when you play the video.

    Check if all downloads are slower on your computer than your Blackberry.

    If they are then you probably need to do all the usual alternatives to speed up your computer generally (up to and including getting a new computer or a new internet connection.)

    But a backup option is to get a free YouTube video downloader, and then play the video on your computer once it's downloaded - I use the Firefox plugin DownloadHelper myself, but there are plenty out there.
