Tough time watching streaming video

[S Morton]

This is my first post.  I am a computer beginner.  I like to watch podcasts and streaming video on woodworking subjects.  I can't seem to do this and it is quite frustrating.

I have:

1.  A new Dell PC.
2.  I am using Mozilla and Internet Explorer.
3.  I have a high speed internet connection.

Most videos quite working after a couple of minutes.  Another thing occurs when I try to download a podcast.  The operation fails due to "timing out."

Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like something with your connection. Do you have a download accelerator running? I wouldn't think you would with high speed. Maybe something with your firewall?

Computer specs, please.

And if you do watch a lot of streaming videos it's neccessary to empty your Temp. Internet File folder more often...

But as Broni asked...more info.
