Certain Youtube videos NOT LOADING?

Ok so, this annoying thing has been happening to me and a lot of other people too . Starting about a week ago or so, some videos JUST won't load. (stupid circle thing go circling forever) While some load in an instant like its supposed to. I have cable , so it can't be my connection. And my computer is only 4 years old, its not THAT old..





I tried reinstalling Java and Adobe Flash Player 9 a thousand times over, but the problem remained. I tried using IE instead of my default browser, Opera, but those certain videos still won't load.





I guess its Youtube's bandwidth or some other problem.





Side note: Oh yeah, I also have a Youtube Video Downloader thing, and when I tried to download those videos that refuse to load, it won't let me download them either. Those videos that DO load, I CAN download. So it MUST be the video's problem.





Anyone else having this problem?

Certain Youtube videos NOT LOADING?
Guys, I've stumbled upon something interesting here and what prompted me to test this was seeing other people post comments on the very videos that were stuck on the loading screen for me. I thought, how in the hell could they see the video but I couldn't.... Like you, I did the uninstall, refresh thing, etc, etc.





BUT here's what I found....





On my laptop connected to someones Verizon router using wi-fi, I was able to load the very same videos that wouldn't load on my desktop computer on YouTube!





My primary internet connection is Comcast and that is what I use my desktop computer which is having the problems with certain videos being stuck on the loading screen. But the laptop which was using Verizon DSL via wi-fi had no problems loading the clips.





Here's the kicker. I connected my laptop to my Comcast connection and tried to load the videos that would stay stuck on the loading screen and guess what happened? No go. It didnt work. Conclusion: It must be something with YouTube and Comcast and/or certain ISP's.





So I want to ask you guys, what ISP's do you use? I find this problem pretty strange. Could it be a routing issue over at YouTube's end?
Reply:going through the youtube blog I found a way to get the videos to work until the problem is fixed. Go to http://www.ztunnel.com and just browse youtube through there or put the URL of whatever video isn't working in there. It seems to be a problem with east coast customers of comcast. Report It

Reply:Yes it definitley was a comcast problem. I contacted them last weekend, and they tried to tell me it wasn't but I tested these videos on another ISP at my aunt's and they worked fine. It looks like its finally been fixed since I was able to load one tonight. Report It

Reply:Im having the same problem as well it really sucks lol. I tried everything you did and I even did a full system restore nothing seems to be helping.
Reply:same problem, it is extremely annoying when i start watching a 10 part video and 1 part ends up corrupted so i cant finish it.
Reply:I've been having the same problem for about a week, too. I've tried reinstalling Adobe Flash Player 9 and the debuggers. I've tried on Firefox and IE 7. Java is enabled on both. My cable connection is running fine. Now, I am using that piece of crap ISP Comcast. I'm sure they have something to do with it. I'm just really starting to get pissed off now.
