I played couple of stream through various 'ad-dons'. anyway the movie kept on pausing for a few seconds and starting again. also tried with hard wired and still same problem?
Has anyone else had this happen to them.

can you name a (legal) example addon with that issue so that others can test if it's reproducable in their setup?

I suspect it's the same issue as in your other thread - CPU limitation. Not knowing what exactly that addon does in the background, it's possible that the CPU is simply not up to it (like download zipped file, extract and feed to Kodi, or torrenting). So if you don't have any hickups with simmilar streams from legal addons that can be directly streamed without the addon having to do anything, there's nothing we can do, besides advising not to use those addons.

BBC iPlayer is legal (in the UK), CatchupTV also. I can stream both of those at the same time to different clients (one of which is a Pi) with no issues.
Occasionally CTV stutters slightly, but this is only occasionally.
There will always be the possibility of hiccups when streaming over the internet. If you're gonna source material via questionable sources then you have no possibility of complaining to the source when it fails to work correctly.
If it works, great. If it doesn't, then there is absolutely no point in complaining about it.

You're right nobody buys XBMC as it's free, you buy possibly inadequate hardware for your needs.

No that's not what i said. The pi is perfectly adequate for my needs as a small client on my own network. I suggest you ask the people responsible for maintaining those add on's
