Install Youtube Center and turn off DASH playback in the settings.

If you're using chrome you need to upgrade to the developer version or install Tampermonkey to run the script.

Isn't DASH playback mandatory for some resolutions, like 1080p?

edit: yes https://github.com/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/issues/109

I can download :filez: at 3.5MB/s, but trying to use DASH playback at anything higher than 480p results in 30 second pauses every minute and a half. To compare, with DASH turned off I can open 5 videos at 720p and watch one without problems while the others buffer in the background. What the gently caress youtube? gently caress DASH and gently caress your 1080p.
