Generally speaking I'm the same as Josh Kinberg: 3 mins/ 25 MB. But it depends on a lot of factors. If there is a good text description of the video I'm more likely to watch, if I don't know what I'll be watching my patience with the piece is very low. Often I don't click through at all

i regularly download files in the 80-100Mb via fireant, although most are smaller. i tend to be less patient in the browser. if there is a feed, i'll use that instead if it makes sense. if not, i'll download it in the background. i generally multi-task and so rarely care how long the

i'd agree with josh/andreas that over 3 mins is often too much, i don't think this is directly related to my attention span (e.g. i'm a big tarkovsky fan), but purely due to the fact that i'm usually at my computer and multitasking when i watch them, and often have lots of them to watch!! in

OK, so now i'm wondering if those of us, like me, who prefer shorter videos are simply more vocal than others. Come on, there's got to be some people out there who love the longer videos and just can't get enough of the large files. -Josh On 1/16/06, Philip Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 3

I personally like smaller vlogs. 3 minutes is long enough for me.I'm pretty impatient when it comes to download times. Assuming its entertaining enough to watch 30 mins, I would consider it.I also limit my videos to under 3 mins but that's usually because that's all the footage I have. My
