    I’m getting really bad buffering on videos posted here, anyone got a direct link or where is this from?

      It’s a bit funny because my subscribed feed moves so slowly but content here has such a short life

      I don’t have the stats to back it up but it feeeels like:

      First 4 hours - 50,000 views

      Rest of the first day - 5000 views

      Day 2 - 5 views

      But I plan on doubling my upload tomorrow so hopefully there will be less buffering issues in future

        I still have no idea how any of this works, so I just go along and hope for the best honestly.

                One moment lemme check something.

                Edit: Yeah no I just checked my VPN if it might have been the culprit but it wasn’t. I’m in Norway, but it’s like, it’s only piefed.social videos that lag/buffer for me, internet is top notch here and I don’t see any issues on any other sites…

                It could easily be just me though, for whatever reason. You should ask around if others also experience this, because otherwise it’s more likely it’s something on my end. I don’t see how or why, but… Yeah.

                  what happens if you go direct to it?

                  I think it might just be the tyranny of distance, Brisbane Australia to Oslo Norway is quite a way

                  Network wise it should be ok, it’s a 17MB file and I have a 10MB/s upload speed (100mbit), so at full beans should take under 2 seconds to load the full video, if we add in some distance and quadruple the time it’s still 8 seconds but the video is 51 seconds long so it still shouldn’t be buffering :S

                  computers eh?
