Increase buffer size?
#16
An update on my config:

I'm now using a monthly build of XBMC that have implemented a change in buffer settings.
So if you just run the latest xbmc build and use this in advancedsettings.xml:
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<alwaysforcebuffer>1</alwaysforcebuffer>
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

...you will buffer any source to local disk! Works like a charm for me even tough there are minor issues using the XBMC gotham beta in general.

For users of XBMC 12 Frodo this can be interesting:
Local network media is not buffered with SMB and NFS protocol.
FTP (and probably WebDAV) are buffered. So accessing the media over ftp server can solve the buffering problems.
In version 13 Gotham the alwaysforcebuffer option solves this.
