Why do some u tube video's stop and wind (that clockwise motion) while others play non stop? Dale.

Network congestion somewhere along the signal path is the usual culprit. Or, it could be heavy usage in your local area Internet service connection. Cable companies share bandwidth among all customers in a small geographical area, or housing complex. DSL from AT&T is now imposing bandwidth limits on its home customers, of 250 GB per month. Reach that and they will throttle down your throughput speed. All wireless broadband networks except for Sprint limit or throttle their customers download rate, after 2 GB or whatever is in the current contract, per month.

Satellite services routinely throttle down their customers who have the less expensive plans. This affects YouTube videos.

If a video becomes very popular it will bring the YouTube servers to their knees. That's when you see a lot of buffering. The same thing happens if a line gets cut, or wet, along the path from the main server to you.
