I cannot even watch youtube videos perfectly, unless I pre-buffer a major part of them. There always is an occasional freezing and jumping.

I always hit the stop button and watch how the youtube movie gets pre-loaded. Or rather, instead of watching, I browse elsewhere till it is downloaded.

3G wireless internet on a friday night will not cut it. DSL often does not get the speed I desire either. Unless I use a download manager that opens 4-8 connections at the same time. But, ok, I am in Brazil. That might make a difference.

Additionally, I like to watch movies off line. DRM gets badmouthed simply because they connect back to the server once in a while for a short handshake.

And do you really save bandwidth if the guy keeps watching the same scene over and over?

Still, nice to see someone elaborate an entire system. But I am afraid, it might go the way of all DRM and copyright schemes. Not liked by customers.
