Youtube – “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available”

I’m getting pretty annoyed with the Youtube Error – “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available”- that seems to be popping up more and more regularly these days.

So here are a couple of fixes:

• Easiest way is to do a CTRL-F5 which will totally refresh the page from the Youtube Server
• Append one of the following tags onto the end of the URL
  &fmt=6
  &fmt=18
  &fmt=16
  So the following URL -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJV_khosQCk would become http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJV_khosQCk&fmt=6
• If you a SAIX ADSL account add the following proxy server into your settings in Firefox or IE
  dsl-cache.saix.net Port 8080
• If you got any Firefox plugins like Google Download accelerator set them to bypass youtube.com domain.

Hope this helps :)
