How can I improve the video buffering delay?

When I play a wmv video with windows media player, the buffering appears to
be slower than the dowloading and the video pauses throughout the play.

There's nothing you can do, it's all a function of the player itself and has
more to do with how the player itself buffers than anything. Also bandwidth
could be an issue as well as it could be spurty when buffering as little
hiccups such as an out of sych packet could cause the player to attempt to
reload a chunk it already loaded.

Hope this helps,
