Totally normal.

I don't use Anti Virus, but I turned off my blockers for testing purposes.

This information is just for reference. This doesn't necessarily mean anything, but maybe it could help ya'll. I never know so I included it.

I'm not entirely sure what's causing this. It's actually been a minor problem with this site for a few months now, but today it's been pretty extreme. I am only reporting it, but I realize this problem is complicated and could be anywhere so I'm just here to report it. I hope you guys can fix it in time, but if it's somewhere else down the line it could be much more difficult to fix since you may not be able to see it. Who knows? It could be the CDN and seem to randomly fix itself. These things happen.

I have been regularly experiencing what I am calling packet loss on video downloads from this site- although to be fair it could be other things. As I said this has become a thing that will happen with this site recently, but today it's been extreme. Specific Explanation: When I download a video from the site the download speed will eventually decrease (from ~3.3 Mbps which is slow but... expected now from this site) until it completely stops (Failed: Network Error) and wants me to resume the download. Normally this is pretty sporadic and mostly doesn't happen (so I haven't looked into it or reported it before) with the occasional times that it will, but today it stops the download about every three minutes or so on every single download. Every time. I assumed this is packet loss, but it could be collisions, or maybe something else (could be new owners changing CDN and... you know... whatever), or it could be the thousands of people that still use the site downloading all at the same time for no reason at all right now overloading something. Lots of potential causes- no way for me to know specifically from my end.

Anyway, I do not use any significant routing or NAT so I don't think I am experiencing anything extreme on my end and when I run a constant ping to yahoo I am not seeing any packet loss- and no significant change to ping times. This issue also only happens on this website. Youtube downloads are fine, Twitch, etc.

And just for specific clarification so there is no confusion- I mean MP4 downloads of the videos not streaming of videos. Good luck. I don't expect anything, but if you can find a cause that's cool too.
