OK, so I use my IMac to play movies. Some of the movies I watch are online through open sources. With them being stream, there is a buffer period. Sometimes I can go an entire movie without an interruption of "buffering" and other movies, it "buffers" every min or so. What gives? It is the website, something with my wireless network?

BTW, this isn't through Netflix because I watch movies all the time through Netflix and dont have a single problem. I am thinking it is the website but just wanted to get your input.

Thanks!
Leland

Almost certainly the website and their servers getting overloaded.
