There are other video streaming sites like YouTube out there. Here's a few:

http://www.livevideo.com
http://www.veoh.com
http://www.vidilife.com
http://www.megavideo.com
http://www.dailymotion.com

Or what you could do is to use www.savetube.com, to actually download the Youtube vids. Although this is a great hassle, don't be put off by having to convert the files or anything. With a decent set of codecs even Media Player should be able to handle .flv files.

Are you using firefox? For some reason, my firefox browser isn't streaming video anymore. Probably a stupid auto update that made a worse situation. Try using IE.

Youtube does have scheduled maintenence too you know.

Yes they do, however When they are performing Site Maintenance, you can still watch videos, just not anything that adds/deletes something from The site. (ex: sending messages, commenting/rating Videos, deleted messages, etc.)

True, but I've had outages of streaming video when they're performing maintenence. Should be simply expected.
