Thanks for your efforts in capturing,compiling & uploading the video &
photos too.

At my end, [i.e. Mumbai,India] video is buffering a lot if I play via
web browser using VLC. [over 400mbps+ internet connection of major ISP
in India]
Probably because the server don't have replica in Asia/Europe or OSPF
& caching isn't happened/happening yet in between.  :-)
I downloaded the video & it's playing without any issue. ^_^
Pls upload the video on Debian servers in Europe if possible.

5~6 years back in India also,we had to pay around US$2 per hour for
internet & so on downloading any updates/patches/new release of Debian
via internet was out of the question :-/
I can imagine, same issue Debian developers/users/enthusiasts in Cuba
facing currently.
I hope they can receive DVD's of latest Debian release via postal
service from South American countries.

Amey.
