   Reviewing 2.2.4.6 (Jul 7, 2008)

   Count me as another who only gets a BSoD system crash with this. Specifically, a stop 8E on sbbotdi.sys - or even more specifically:
   
   STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005,0xA78B6AB6,0xA753E9D0,0x00000000)
   
   sbbotdi.sys - Address A78B6AB6 base at A78B4000, DateStamp 475bb24b
   
   XP SP3 with a 2.8 GHz Intel P4 and 1 Gig RAM.
   
   Happened at the end of the install and after every subsequent reboot. Had to uninstall it in Safe Mode to fix the system.
   
   This is a real bummer since I do quite a lot of video streaming from some of the sites this supports and I was hoping it might help with some of the slower ones (like Dailymotion, tudou, and sometimes Veoh).
   
   Normally I'd give it a 1 after this, but since it is openly stated as potentially unstable beta code and since the concept is excellent and since it works well for others, I'll do an Emeril and bump it up a notch to 2. ;-)
   
   I hope this bug gets resolved and I can try the program someday. For now I'll try submitting a report through their support link since their "Discuss" link doesn't actually point to a discussion...
   
   July 12 Update:
   
   On July 8, I reported the crash details through the support form here:
   
   http://www.videoaccelerator.com/support/
   
   and to my surprise I received a response about 12 hours later asking me to submit a memory dump for analysis (which I did that same day - through a service they have for uploading large files).
   
   I haven't heard back since submitting the dump, but hopefully someone will eventually look at it. I did see that they released a new beta version (2.2.4.9) on July 10, but it still crashes on my system - so I assume that release coming so soon after my report was just coincidence.
   
   If they ever get back to me and/or fix the problem, I'll update this review (or post a new one). In the meantime, I would advise anyone else seeing blue-screen crashes to submit a report through the support form I linked to above. More reports might increase the possibility for a fix.

   Reviewing 2.2.3.0 Beta (Mar 5, 2008)

   Don't listen to peoples stupid reviews.
   This program works and it has nothing to do whether you have a good ISP or not, its about how many connections are made to the YouTube servers.
   This program really does accelerate streaming not just from YouTube but from like over 100 sites i read on the website.
   this program is not full of ads either like people have posted, it prompts you to install the Ask toolbar but you can opt out of installing that.
   does exactly what it says it does!

   Reviewing 2.2.1.5 Beta (Dec 21, 2007)

   in general the concept works good, but speebit are know for there ads and unwanted ask.com toolbars.. which is why i give it a 3 instead of a 4 if it had no annoying bugs an ads

   Reviewing 2.2.0.6 Beta (Nov 13, 2007)

   the last version gave me the blue screen of death, several times, I'm not just talking out of my ass, several minidumps I have identify a .sys driver from this as the culprit, I wouldn't mind seeing a changelog to see if they've fixed that.
