2012 Olympics: Swimming

Did anyone else have a difficult time today trying to watch the live streaming feed? During the prelims (very early this morning) it crashed Firefox every time the feed switched from the swimming coverage to a commercial break. This afternoon it locked up so many times that we missed most of several of the finals. I was having this same problem trying to watch the saved "replay." Every time it served up an advertisement the video would crash and I would have to start it over and then advance to where I had stopped. It was even more annoying than sitting through the ads would have been. BUT I found an unexpected solution when I watched the saved video of today's evening events. Rather than starting from the beginning and watching straight through, I started with the men's 4 x 100m relay (because TV will not show it until well past this AM swimmer's bedtime) and then I jumped around from event to event. It never offered an ad, and so never crashed. Hope it works the same way after I get home from the office tomorrow.
