How to Make Netflix Fully Buffer
When Netflix loads a movie for instant play on your computer, it calculates the speed of your Internet connection and buffers the file appropriately. Sometimes only part of the movie will be buffered, slowing the playback time when you watch it. By adjusting the bitrate -- the rate at which the movie streams from the Netflix servers to your computer -- you can force the movie to play all the way through.
