The youtube-dl program works for more sites than just YouTube. And I chose it for the links you provided, specifically because they were YouTube videos. Give /usr/share/doc/youtube-dl-2012.09.27/README.md.bz2 a read. The file fluctuated but the overall speed was 1.77M/s ... don't ever remember getting that type of speed in FF. This shows (via gkrellm) the effects it had playing on this system: http://www.servantsofyeshua.org/XITHbsUUlYI.mp4-screenshot.png Didn't really heat my GPU (temp1) over 38C, and it's normally around 31C. Here's another file check on the MP4: mingdao@workstation ~/test $ md5sum XITHbsUUlYI.mp4 dab460274c1ce3ed8ebaf7caa6c0ad02 XITHbsUUlYI.mp4 Even before Walter's reply to me, I'd rebuilt mesa with new flags: media-libs/mesa-9.0 USE="classic egl g3dvl gallium llvm nptl r600-llvm-compiler shared-glapi xa xvmc -bindist -debug -gbm -gles1 -gles2 -openvg -osmesa -pax_kernel -pic (-selinux) -vdpau (-wayland) -xorg" VIDEO_CARDS="r600 -i915 -i965 -intel -nouveau -r100 -r200 -r300 -radeon -radeonsi -vmware" Hopefully tomorrow I've have time to check. I'd also saved the old /var/log/Xorg.0.log from before rebuilding mesa. And then there are other comps with other chipsets on this LAN to try.
