Recently, when i try to watch a video on that site, i click the video image and I get a whole bunch of random numbers and symbols and it freezes up the screen...? :wtf: And when i go to save the file, it says a continuous download and it freezes. Please help! I gotta watch some airmaxx23 videos! lol

It sounds to me like your browser or whatever video plugins you use are corrupted and not interpreting the input correctly. So it tries to interpret it as plain text, and binary encoded files come out as special characters and garbage in plain text. Since video is usually many megabytes or more, that's a lot of text! :D If you wait it out you might see it's not actually freezing, just taking forever to render. It is entirely possible that the SERVER is sending incorrect content-type headers, this will do the same thing.

Try 1) viewing a video of the EXACT same type on another site, or 2) with a different browser. This wil help you figger out who the culprit is.
 
Its either that or the pos that runs rcpics ran out of money for the month and deleted a bunch of stuff. Gotta love Jeff Schwartz!
 
hahaha, thanks man. Someone try to watch a vid on rcpics and tell me if the same thing happens to you. I'm curious to see if its the site or my computer...
