Have you ever tried using the media player? There is no buffering involved. The media player only allows you to view/listen to as much of the file as you have dlded at the time you pressed Launch.
You can't preview something that you aren't dlding and you can't listen to a whole song if it hasn't finished dlding. In other words, it is not so much your connection speed that is concerned as much as your RAM: many seem to have to wait a little after launching a file before the file actually starts playing.
IMO, it is quite useful (unless, as I said, the speeds are too high) as it allows to check if the file you are dlding is indeed the one you want.
And 50 metal vids? Gosh. I mean I'm a metalero too but how much did it cost (unless they weren't original...).
As a side note, when clicking Launch, LW creates a "photo" of the file (stored in the Incompletes folder) from the time you clicked the button in order to play it.
