Best suggestions would depend on many factors. Which operating system you are using (Windows or Apple, etc.) If the site you want to download from enables downloading. Which browser you use. Which device you want to use for playing the video.

This is on the Udaya site:
My video stalls while it is playing, what can I do to fix it?
If you are experiencing skipping or stalling while taking an online class, its most likely attributed to a slow or spotty internet connection. Our videos are broadcast in HD so a strong and steady internet connection is recommended for optimal use, but before you go replacing your internet …try these little tricks below and see if it helps solve the problem.

1. Turn the High Definition feature off. In the bottom right corner of the video player you will see an ”HD” logo. You can click on that logo to turn the high definition feature on and off. A video with HD feature turned OFF will load faster.

2. Push “play” and then “pause”. Although it is paused, the video will continue to load on the site. Let it load for a few minutes and then push play. You’ll notice the video loading at the bottom of the player.

Thank you, Barb! I will give that a try. I think part of the problem is my IP, however, some days I have no problems.

Definitely try turning HD off. The HD video is beautiful, but it requires WAY more network bandwidth than standard definition.

Just now tried replaying the same practice with HD turned off and the it played completely through to the end without any "buffering stalls".

I knew I could rely upon another VF'er for a possible solution.
