I've tried to download the 1'23"14 championship video from this website but the download was going as slow as 99 bytes/Sec to around 850 bytes/Sec, yes, you read it correctly, bytes/Sec. Why does it go so slow?

I imagine that it has to do with overall Yahoo download traffic levels at the time you are trying to download it. Yahoo's system is of course beyond my control.
I just tested downloading that particular video, and the speed for me evened out at about 6 KB/sec. That's on DSL, which is rated a little slower than cable internet.
If there's a certain video you want, you ALWAYS have the option of requesting it directly from me ... we can work out the transfer details.

All I would like is a video showing how to do the JDT. After all, a picture tells a thousand words. It would be easier to understand what the technique requires by actually looking at it performed.

A picture tells a thousand words......... Wow, 1000 times GBA's FPS times number of seconds in the video- I don't have the mathematical abilities of Kortnevensky but I can tell you this: if Ninto's right about this picture/words thing, THAT'S A HELL OF A LOT OF WORDS!! Any estimations on how many words are in this championship video?

LOL
What Ninto meant was that seeing a video of how to do the JTD would be much more informative than someone explaining how it's done since with the video, you can actually SEE instead of trying to recreate.
Or, to use another phrase, "Learn by Example".
