Hello, everyone. Before I ask my question, a big THANKS to everyone on this forum for helping me get through tough times with my computer. Great stuff.

Well, this is a kind of a stupid question. I know that when you play Windows Streaming Media (video in my case) that it buffers to 100% first and then WMP starts playing the video. Meanwhile, while the video is playing, the remaining parts of the video are being downloaded to my computer. From my experience, I know that I'll eventually have to wait and buffer again because my download speed is not that fast and the video will catch up. Thus, I press "PAUSE" and hope that the remaining video gets downloaded.

However, the last few days when I press "PAUSE," the remaining parts of the video is not being downloaded. I don't know why. This way has worked for me very well in the past, but for some reason it's not.

I tried cleaning the Temporary Internet Files folder (not while streaming) as well as re-launching the streaming video. It'd be great if I can get some help. Thanks.

Here's a sample stream :
