It typically means that the download rate from the server is too low for the program to be played back continuously. In order to reduce the risk of "stuttering", where the playback program repeatedly runs out of data to play, it gets "buffered" into a temporary file. If the lack of bandwidth is only temporary, this means that you stand a better chance of continuous playback, though with the disadvantage of having a delayed start.

The probable cause is that your broadband connection isn't working well, though it could also be that the demand5 server is overloaded.
