Please explain buffering

When trying to download video (say from putfile.com), it begins buffering to about 30% then the video will begin to play until it plays everything buffered? Then it stops and begins buffering again from the beginning. This can't be right.... what do I need to do?

Hit pause when it starts to load and let it load all the way, then hit stop, then hit play.
Or if pause isn't active when it starts loading, stop-play-pause-let it download fully-stop-play.

I can also just be a slow site. Never been to putfile.com but I just tried it and couldn't get anything to load, meaning I gave up on the several vids I tried playing. I went over to youtube.com and it "flew," meaning I didn't have t wait at all.

There may be, but I'm not aware of them. Still, if a site is slow, buffering doesn't help...
