rebuffered

Reloaded media data

Rebuffered is the past tense of rebuffer, meaning to buffer again—typically describing when streaming media or data must reload into memory after playback was interrupted.

The term belongs to the vocabulary of digital video and audio: The video rebuffered three times during the movie.

A frustrating experience for anyone watching content online.
