gallery problems

[Thom]

Ok, I was able to save and open the video.
I don't know, everything starts to work very slow when i go to the gallery. Icons for the different videos takes several minuttes to load/show.
I'll contact the cablecompany. I'm supposed to have a 2 Mb connection, but it's loading 100 K/s.

I have problems with Brian Manzellas videoanswers as well. Sound is very strange.

And Powerdraw, are you working on your postcount or just being a m....

Thom, Thanks for testing that for me. If you were able to download and play the videos then I suspect there may be something going on with the stability of your connection. 100K/s sounds pretty fast; how long does it take you to download a video from this site? Even if speed is good, you can have dropped packets (think static on a phone line) that can mess up streaming video/audio.

In case your cable company isn't giving you good answers, you can do a little self-investigation here:

speed tests, pick the one closest to your internet connection

Bambam,

I'm also having problems with the videos. When I try to Save Target As, I get a File Download dialog box that says "Getting File Information," which is where I get stuck. Connection speed shouldn't be an issue (downloading at the office), but maybe there's a firewall issue on my end? Any ideas?

[bambam]

It could be a firewall issue. Are you able to download videos from other sites while at your office?

[armourall]

Yes, and it seems I was able to get videos from this site, just not when they're posted in the Gallery. I downloaded the Tomasello Australia series a while ago before it was posted in the Gallery (may have been a link in a post), but if I try to open it now in the Gallery, I can't. Can you possibly post a link to one of the Tomasello Letter series so I can test?

I am also having trouble viewing the videos. I tried streaming them and when that wasn't working, right-clicking and downloading them. Once downloaded, I could only watch about a minute of the video before I got an error message. Any ideas? Thanks.

armourall, I must have missed your post...sorry about that. Here's a direct link to one of the Tomasellos videos.

Lefty, what's the error message you're getting when you download and play the videos?
