Why does videos online take a long time to open? (not youtube! It works fine!)?

It seems to me that whenever I want to watch some Anime or something online it takes forever to open the video

I.E. get it to open. Once it starts playing, there is no issue. Youtube work's perfectly. This isn't a Youtube problem. This isn't just one or 2 sites either!

I have tried the usual, Clear cache, clear browser history, cookies, ect. Boosted my PC with System Mechanic Pro, upped the upped the disk space available for temporary internet files, reset the router. There has to be something I'm missing! This is a newer CPU! It wasn't allways like this so I must be missing were the build up is.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

    It's funny, it seems the sites I like the best/use the most are the ones that I have problems with. Another oddity is that sometimes if they have mirrored versions of the same video, some of the different players give me no problems. (though I can't use my FVD downloader to download them) I always here about people having problems with Youtube which I never have.

    Thanks for replying!

    It's the websites that have slow servers. Nothing you can do about this, but find another better website.
