When ever I try to watch some flash, it always loads really slow. And it's not my internet.
The NG BBS and the rest of the site work fine.

It turns out the flash downloads 6 times slower. I went to page info and went to download to see the speed and it was only 10 KB/s.

Fix please?

Yeah. It takes me about 15 seconds to download a 10 MB. file

But it takes me like ten minutes to download a flash with the exact file size D:

Sometimes flash on this site do take a while to load compared to other sites that are flash portals, though sometimes they load pretty quick. Maybe it depends on how many people are connected to either that flash or the server at the given time.

I dunno.

Things that your browser caches (like the site layout, and bbs icons,etc) means that un-cached areas of the site will always load slower.

Thanks.

Now that the answer has been answered, I guess it's time for this topic to be locked forever!

I don't think it's really been answered. I don't know why the cache would make the flash download 6 times slower than usual for the guy. Flash downloads fine for me and I haven't cleared the cache in ages.
