Youtube Videos which are also used on sites like Myspace or embedded into blog posts sometimes take ages to load which results in freezes and stuttering which can only be solved by pausing the playback until the video is fully loaded. There is a possible way that would accelerate the download of the youtube video by up to five times. This is done by the free software Speedbit Video Accelerator which builds up five different connections to the video server to speed up the streaming of the video. This method does not help if you are already using the maximum bandwidth available of course.
Each request for a youtube video is routed through the Speedbit servers which open five new connections to the video server offering the video which results in a speed increase which can be remarkable.
The service has to be running in the system tray while watching youtube videos and starts automatically whenever a new video is requested from youtube. I was not able to take a look at some of the program features that are shown at the developers website but the video acceleration is working fine.
As you can see the technology is working in Firefox and Internet Explorer, unfortunately not in Opera. I found the software at the Connected Internet Blog.

so disappointed. no perceptible improvement, but worse, with it running vids stop playing between 30 secs and one minute
The site is down?
hello, to bad it dosnt work on widows vista, lol, which is the only machine i have high speed on, aw well, i like stargate just so you no, talk on bebo, or msn, my specs are on it, thanks
the free version simply does not work. to pay for the premium version is too much of a risk, as that may not work.
it does not work! do not buy!
thanks for the speedbit video accelerator info. I just checked their site and the new version 2.19 supports videos from even more sites like facebook, break, veoh, myspace and loads more.
you can download the most recent version from http://www.speedbit.com/video_accelerator/beta.asp
i love youtube, but the thing is i can’t watch video properly
I don’t think it works either. I have tried both versions and neither one improved my connection to youtube AT ALL. How do I know this? Well I have one of the worst ISP’s on the planet ‘Eclipse UK’ and I regularly cant stream anymore than 10 to 12 seconds of video from You Tube before it has to stop and buffer. So this looked like a brilliant piece of software…
After install I could only stream 10-12 seconds before buffering occured.. So put simply, it does not work!
Wow, was I ever glad to find this FREEbie. makes Youtube almost worth watching… it does help my crap 128 kbps internet, Vista SP1.
IT DOES WORK. VERY NICE
doesnt work!
worst beleive me
to Sean
it works on vista.
no speedup!
betta try this shit yourself , and see how it works for you.
can this problem be solved by hacking??????????
how can I download youtube video ?
Since nobody seems to benefit from this program, I’m convinced it’s a Trojan virus, stealing information from your computer, or something similar.
at first this message pop up
‘accelerating video’
then i wait for an hour and its nothing but shit
don’t download it
Useless
Use this one. This is the best solution by far.
