For a couple of months now, videos on the internet have taken a very long time to load like on YouTube, Daily Motion, Metacafe or whatever.
The internet loads up fine, within seconds even. The page that has the video on it loads up quickly as well but the actual videos just takes a very long time to load.
Also my computer itself switches on very quickly as well, its just videos on the internet that take a while.
Is there something I can do to make them load quicker?

If you are experiencing either: A) slugglish loading
or buffering, B) that "spinning circle" looking like it
will keep on "spinning" forever, C) "choppy" videos
that start/stop/start/stop frequently, or D) vids that
sometimes come to a complete stop, maybe your
cache/memory is full and thus can’t take anymore.
Exit out of YouTube (but not your browser) and do
one of the steps below. Afterwards, shutdown and
reboot. Not only will this "free up" your computer’s
memory, everything will be "fresh", and load faster:

DON’T FORGET TO SHUT DOWN AND REBOOT
AFTER DOING ONE OF THE ABOVE.
If you have other applications which are running at
the same time, those will slow down YouTube too.
If you’ve got ‘Torrents’, you might want to consider
closing or uninstalling them. A couple people who
chose me as "Best Answer" wrote that everything
worked great after they’d uninstalled their Torrents.
For some reason, simply closing them didn’t work.
Also, "Adblock Plus", various Instant Messengers
and every "stupid video accelerator" under the sun
is known to interfere with YouTube.
Another thing you may want to consider is turning
off your anti-virus — but only momentarily. As long
as you remain on YouTube (and don’t scamper off
to other websites), you will be okay, because you
cannot get a virus from YouTube.
