Speedbit Video Accelerator is a small program which make video download faster from online video sites which uses flash like Youtube, Metacafe, Veoh, Vimeo, dailymotion, and many others. Speedbit works on Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox, Google Chrome, and Opera. When I use it, I notice less buffering or no buffering when watching online flash videos on Youtube on my computer with a High Speed Cable Internet connection. If I am not using Speedbit Video accelerator, I notice a lot more buffering and video slow down.
