It's just a combination of the bandwidth available from XHamster and the bandwidth to your PC.

If there isn't a big enough pipe at either end you will have buffering.

You're just about on the money there, if connections are slow, you will suffer buffering until your player has downloaded enough to play whilst downloading the rest. I've got a steam driven tortoise like connection which I'm forever cursing the buffer!

your connection at the moment is a dribble rather than a constant gush!

sadly it's time to put your hand in your pocket and pay for a little more bandwidth..

Don't know if this works with all sites but try pausing the vid and let the bar move across to show it is fully 'loaded' then you should be able to watch without it waiting to download the content

Pausing certainly is the best way to get around stuttering video.

Buffering will be down to your internet speed.

If you are on Broadband Internet I would use a speed test website to see what download and upload speed you are getting.

If you're wireless try changing the channel on your router. Sounds crazy but can have a huge effect on download speeds. Virgin engineers recommend channel 6 and to avoid channel 11.

Also if you have a smartphone you can download a wifi analyser which will show you which channels are heavily populated, you might find all your neighbours are on the same channel, which can cause problems.

as said will be bandwidth causing problems but this is also very good advice! Just to add to it you can download apps that check the channels and suggest the best one to you.

It's what newsinglemale said... But if this is on a pc or laptop there are other things to consider also. I've seen situations where other bits of software have been killing the CPU and network connections so much that theres nit enough processing power to process the video.

Pm me if you're using a pc rather than a phone.
