read this from the youtube's 9 january 2006 blog:
http://www.youtube.com/blog
"Issue: Video pausing. During peak hours users may occasionally notice that new or popular videos are slow to download, causing a pausing effect.
YouTube is currently serving over 45 terabytes of video per day. This is equal to 75,000 dial-up modems running at full speed for an entire day.
To keep up with this demand and future growth, we're constantly working on ways to improve our internet connectivity. We expect some of our most recent additions to come online over the next few days and weeks."
45 terabytes per day is a big frikin' number, even if they dramatised with the dial-up example. i'd guess most such hosting services are experiencing similar issues. cut blip a break, they're free and, i think it's safe to say this but correct me if incorrect, prolly less funded than youtube. viva los blippers.

Noah: When I went to see the archives, I noticed that you're using
blip for your archives. This is something captainhumphreys has been
looking at doing. But, I literally can't get your archive files.
The status bar just keeps crawling across for 10 minutes and no file
comes over. I alert you because you should be aware and I'm
wondering about blip as a solution now myself.
