Besides Apple.com and iTunes, is there another place where I can watch the WWDC 2008 Keynote? I tried Youtube, but it seems that only fractions of the keynote have been uploaded.

Thanks in advanced,
Hg+

Why would you wanna do that ?

The quality of the recorded stream from Apple is much better than Youtube could ever deliver.

Because I was watching it on QuickTime and it suddenly stopped working, and the video on iTunes is more than a gig =/.. Prehistorical internet connections here in Dominican Republic.

I tried to watch the WWDC keynote on the Apple website, and it wasn't playing correctly. I will check back again tonight.

The video getting bad has nothing to do with Apple (the source), but your ISP.

Quicktime will adjust the quality and sound to your connection's bandwidth (dynamic scaling), so you will get the best possible video quality that you can get with your connection.

I doubt it would get any better with Youtube, if you were able to find the full length video there.

11 computers hooked up to a 768 kbps DSL connection.. That's an average of 8.72 kbps per user =/

I really don't know if you are being sarcastic or not. For all it's worth, 768 kiloBITS per second and 8.72 kiloBYTES per second. =)
