This is going off-topic here but I guess still related on 'watching the history video':

Spino, the problem is with 56k, it often (I've tried this since loooonggg time ago with maaannnyyy videos) stop grabbing after 10 to 30 seconds part of the video. What I mean is it just stopped there, the video won't continue, even if I did what you said. Refreshing will gave same result: Videos stop grabbing after minutes (if not hours) of waiting only to watch not even 1/10 part of the video.
