1). Slow internet speed cause the movies unable to play smoothly.
Your internet speed bought from unify/streamyx is just last mile, when you stream movies from oversea you do not get the same speed claimed by ISP.
2). Slow content server.
Due to low budget operation, most of the free movies content servers are hosted in low cost shared environment. When the number of concurrent connection reach certain limit, the streaming start lagging.
3). Streaming Technology
Beside the encoding compression, there is Peer to Peer(P2P) technology available in today market. P2P technology stream the video content from the nearby peer , each peer joining to watch the video is a relay to other peer viewers. Further info about P2PTV -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P2PTV
Streaming from P2P host will be more smooth than none P2P source.
To enjoy free streaming online, some effort is required to search for good movies and the content server. To reduce the search effort, please feel free to share here if you found any good site which is capable to stream smoothly.
