> The behavior I've seen consistently is that the first N seconds play, then buffering starts, and it _never recovers from buffering_. It's why on the Desktop, at least, I always have a https://redditsave.com/ https://redditsave.com/ tab opened. It's just way faster (and less frustrating). There's an FF extension that automates this : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downloader-4-reddit-redditsave/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downloader-4-... : which I haven't tested. *update, a few minutes later: decided to install extension. Looks useful. Now the testing phase...
