Why is this happening?

For about three weeks now, whenever I log onto this site, I usually get a "You can't watch this because you've seen too much anime today" message even if I haven't seen any anime in days. And sometimes, when it does let me actually watch something, the video won't load properly - only a few scenes will play then it'll freeze or something.

I have no idea why this is. This was never a problem before, so I don't think it has anything to do with poorly updated software. I tried cleaning out my temp files and other things on my computer thinking that might be the problem, but it hasn't worked. It's making watching things here really annoying.

Mostly this happens with Yu Yu Hakusho. It's really the one I've been watching lately.

Thanks for any help you can offer, and sorry if this question's been addressed somewhere else (though I didn't really see anything too similar).

I believe this is related to the MegaVideo incident.

Check here to see if this is your problem

As for the problem with the time... I bet someone in your house has probably used up all your time. MegaVideo checks by IP and if someone is watching anime on MegaVideo in your house it counts for your viewing time as well.

Please by all means, send in a complaint to MegaVideo.

No. The 62 minutes only rule isn't the problem. In fact, I've been able to watch more than that even after the change. What's happening to me now is that it's telling me I used time I didn't use. NO one else uses this computer - I live on a college campus with my own laptop. Though if my IP address is connected to the school's network, then maybe other students here are watching it and affecting my time. I don't know, though; that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Since you live on a college campus it doesn't matter if nobody else uses that exact computer, it does this because you and a bunch of other college students are using the same exact IP address. YOU may have not watched anything on MegaVideo, but some of your colleagues probably have.

From my understanding from working with videos from Megavideo, the time it allows you to watch a video is actually "streamed time", meaning if you stream a whole episode, then decide you want to watch something else, that's 20 minutes taken off your allowed time. I noticed this happen often when I was adding videos when I would watch the first two minutes of each episode (although it usually managed to stream a lot more than two minutes from each episode before I managed to watch the episode and close the tab) to determine the language, and after four or five episodes, it would tell me that my time was up.

Cheers @ x yoko for figuring it out way before i even got a chance to read it and contribute with my own experience :p Aye, you will most likely have to use a proxy to watch anime as a campus will most likely share the same IP. Last i remember I had to use a proxy on campus to download from rapidshare (as during that time i used to watch mostly veoh stuff on here, yay for no timelimit xD ). Also, the campus connection usually means that if there's a handful of people like me, that torrent like crazy, you will have no remaining bandwidth. Good luck with it tho (I had to subscribe to a wireless ISP so i had decent quality internet).

The Illimitux program works really well (when first shared through the forums, it was pretty glitchy) but now it seems to work just fine. Both Teru and I watch plenty of anime at home, well over the limit, but Illimitux removes limitations for megavideo AND veoh.
