T, how bout puting up a file size limiter/compression value for videos on kitecommunityand kiteforum TV, too often high res files are loaded and it takes freaking forever to load short clips. If the page cant auto compress, maybe have a popup suggest a compression value before one can upload.
Im barely litterate in the cyber world, so my suggestions might not have the right terms but even with DSL Im still waiting for the colona watersports to finish bufferin and its been 10 minutes!
thanks for reading and considering,
ps Is there something that I can do on my end? kftv usually goes through my windows media player

How about you exercise your right to not click on something that is too large and will take you "freaking forever to load short clips". The file size is right there to see before you choose to download it.

I got a 3 meg connection also.
But why I could never download that long file 555 MB of
Lou Wainman on Flysurfer PSYCHO 3
It stops half way, error after 2hrs or etc.
Anybody on that B.S.

I recommend to set your setting to not play the file immediately but to give you the choice to store it as well.
Then save it to your harddrive. And you can see how long it will take to download.
And don't download the Lou Wainman clip, it has 550 mb....you will wait forever with a slow connection...
