This issue just started for me in the past couple days, but whenever I try to watch streams it stutters horribly and is basically unwatchable. I've never had problems before, and my connection has more than enough bandwidth to handle watching streams (usually 30 down 4 up). I've blocked the ip ranges that got posted everywhere a while back for time warner etc (I have charter though not twc) and that did nothing. I figured it might just be because of the big LoL event, but the issue occurs even when that isn't going on so now I have no clue.

Ideas anyone? lookin at you john

Happening to me too, this new system is really a disaster.

Twitch chat (a good source of info I know) said that all of Twitch's internet juice was being directed to whatever they were showing at PAX or something, so every other stream not at PAX was laggy.

Twitch chat straight up doesn't load for me whatsoever anymore. I guess it could be my university internet, but I'm pretty sure it didn't work for me at home either.

I guess it doesn't matter much considering twitch chat is home to the dumbest people on planet Earth, but it is annoying considering that I can't see my chat when I stream myself.

You'll probably want to set up your IRC client to plug into your stream's chat, much easier than going through the web app.

There's a tutorial somewhere around here for it...
