I'm having trouble with bitrate/kbps and RTT.

my FPS is 'excellent' at 30.

any ideas?

I've reset the router a few times :/

My RTT was terrible until I connected with an ethernet cable. I'm still at around 170. My internet is super fast @ 350 Mbps download and 22 Mbps upload. Do you use the encoder? You have a little more control over your bitrate through that, but your internet speed will be the most important part of the puzzle.

I'm on a Mac

I use the encoder and I was having issues even though i come in as "excellent" in all 3

:(

My upload and download speeds are very high -- not sure about the exact specs though

Here's what I do...I stop what I'm doing as soon as someone enters and cover up my goods as much as I can. This way, if they leave before I can get my finger on the block button they've seen nothing anyway. Then if they're still there I highlight their name and hit the block button just leaving the box up for a bit. I greet them so they know I've seen and acknowledged their presence. If they leave in a short amount of time I go ahead and block them (and of course have to go in and block them from chat after my show). If I think they've been there a while then I cancel it. Yes it's a pain in the ass...but it's a group show, so if the person taking me doesn't want interruptions then they should have went exclusive. I ONLY striptease and show off parts of my body in private, this way I'm always near my mouse so I can click in time. Fuck 'em.

I found out this trick from SW and it saves my sanity a ton. I block almost every person who comes into my room and either is silent or begging or worse asking politely and then when I tell them to tip they disappear, from messages and if they prove they are freeloaders or peepers they then get upgraded to fully blocked from chat as well. It's a fun game when it's slow to have the block screen up ready and when they run once money is mentioned click that block button.

As for SM in general I've had a terrible time lately, three consecutive days of $0 and 0% in paid chat bad, I was starting to get quite annoyed but I refused to lower my prices and my last shift was much better I'm glad I didn't give in, I'm starting to realise that the spenders barely talk in free chat or mention the price they just go exclusive. I've toyed with the idea of switching my rates back but I've not had one peeper since I switched them and a couple of big spenders that have gone private BECAUSE it is so expensive so I'll be keeping it as is I reckon.

Summer is almost over bb's keep grinding get that $$$

It will be Monday, Thursday and Sundays when they are in their regular season. Sundays have multiple games on, they start early and end late. Then you have college football on Saturdays, and those are popular games here too.

it was brutal for me tonight. i had so many beggars doing absolutely anything to try and sneak free convo. one guy asked me at the end of the night "so what do you do for findom? every girl is different." yeah DUMBFUCK, that's why you buy shows from each and every one of us. Like we'll really tell you what we do before you pay us? So you can mentally envision our show so you dont have to pay??? omg. stupid.

I had the same problem the other night! I got booted from two exclusives and almost couldn't get back on! luckily the guy was a regular and after getting booted, still came back and did a half hour. But I don't know what's up with getting kicked from the server like that, my connection was fine! It happened during a block session which really pissed me off because I lost money on that one. Urgh

I am not sure if it is me or the site but the users keep getting kicked off after a few seconds. I tried camming for a few hours tonight and got no shows. The only guy who stayed in my room for a long period of time was a freeloader who kept asking for freebies and who I secretly wanted to punch in the cock. If I lost some weight, I wonder if I would get more shows. I swear I hate being fat sometimes. Does anyone know of a cam site that is really thriving and popping right now?

Fuck SM I rage quit after one hour and went and made my goal on my other sites within 4 hours. The SMB is not working for me at the moment it's been going mental for over a week now and I give up, when I use the encoder I'm on page 2 but when I used to use the broadcaster I was page 1 on row 3/4. My boyfriend says I don't NEED SM to make money I just WANT it and that today proved I can survive without it. That maybe so but I have a ton of regulars on there and I want their money damn it!

I'm sure you're perfect just the way you are. if you feel getting in the gym or dropping a few pounds would make you feel better, go for it! do it for you though, not these boys on any cam site. I got back in the gym on the 8th, I've also altered my sleeping and work schedule, I eliminated 90% of the soda and junk in my daily diet and I feel great. I no longer stay up all night and sleep all day. they say health is the new wealth. as far as SM being slow, I can definitely admit things are not the same especially after last summer. And tbh I am enjoying SM less and less. even on my awesome earning days I'm not completely happy because I feel like it's only making even for the slow as shit days which is more often than not now.
As not only a cam girl but as an affiliate I can honestly say I'm looking forward to quitting all free chat cam sites in the near future and sticking to indie and pre paid shows. after 3 years I am almost over this completely. I am also finding my passions in life, advertising / affiliate work being one of them. I'll be 30 soon and this I'm learning isn't something I want to be doing 5 or 10 + years from now. it's just not worth the up and down roller coaster to me. my mom the other day brought up how bad she wants a grandchild and I had to break it down to her, like sorry mom but things are so unstable and I refuse to take a child on the rollercoaster ride with me or the ups and downs that come along with this line of work. I'd feel bad if i had a kid and they experienced me on a good day of cam earnings vs a bad day like wow they would think i'm a nut or something. LOL. anyway sorry for the super long post/rant I'm hormonal and being a sensitive punk right now.

as soon as I open a new page my RTT jumps to 500

Guys that ask you to put on highheels then stay in free chat wondering if your ready.. stupid motherfucker, I am just sitting here for no god damn reason, block your dumb ass.

I wish I had so much to not do with my life that sitting in a camgirls room talking to her makes my day so much better. loser asses

They all seem to be the same for me at the moment and i'm on 3 different sites. I don't think weight makes a huge difference. I was super skinny then gained 50 pounds then lost 30 pounds again and it never seems to make much difference $ wise. In fact I might've made a few extra bucks at the bigger weight because I had a little more in the boob department.

I'm making a little, but nothing compared to last week. Most of it is just coming from regulars the very few new guys i've seen aren't big spenders and it seems sooooo dead not even the in and out traffic. I've had two of my regulars write me and tell me they can see and hear me, but can't figure out how to type with the "new format" I didn't realize there was a new format? and 3 people suddenly left what are usually long exclusives just a couple minutes into them. Not sure if it's me, them, or the site. Also all my regulars are telling me the site notifications saying I'm online haven't worked in days.

This is happening to me pretty often that old regulars say they never see me on cam anymore and it feels just awkward to tell them "i am on cam almost every day u know", i dont know if this is SM 'hiding' me from the spenders or is a way for these guys to 'excuse themselves' for not coming by for a long time?!?

Anyway, what i know for a fact is, since 1st of August SM took away my hard earned placement, they really thrown me from middle of page ONE to almost middle of page TWO, on the same day an idiot gave me a 1 star rating so at 1st i was thinking that could have caused the drop but no, i got several 5 stars inbetween and nothing changed, my placement is the same, no matter how many 5 star ratings i get or how much money i make.
It feels bad that after 6 years on this site working hard for my placement they did this to me, i refrained myself from posting about this in here but i just feel like talking about it now. This summer was indeed slower for me and i struggle with the deadness still but it cant be just me, just reading these forums i understand others have a hard time themselves, i really am disappointed and sad for loosing my page one spot like this.
I'll continue to cam cause that's the only thing i can do but it feels bad & painful to be treated like this by this site i invested 6 years of work into....

If you have geoblock enabled then you can't view your placement because you're area is blocked. You'll have to have someone who isn't being blocked check it for you from their member account.

I believe that streamate redirects traffic into other girls rooms because I know for a fact Naked.com does this so I know it's possible. I dont know what the criteria is. But its so not fair because most of the guys just dont tell us fuckall

I have been struggling with the same thing but thought it was just a site error, so I didnt bring it up. I am usually midway on the first page but since I got a 1 star rating a month ago I have been stuck on page 2 or 3. I have had a tonne of 5 star ratings since and Ive been stuck at a 4.96 star rating for a few weeks now - I havent been able to shake it off. I got this 1 star rating from a guy who peeked into a private show and went past 30 seconds.

Streamate sent me a shirt and a nice handwritten card saying they were happy Im part of their family. I will probably give the site another change in September or October. I just need a break from the freeloaders and stress. I hope by the time I try the site again its back to normal and people are spending money.

star ratings do matter in placement, at least for me. and any rating other than a 5 that you don't have removed will affect the average rating for the following 90 days or thereabouts.

Lots of assholes, public chat sex talkers, and tons more guys just popping in and out..Day time was terribly slow, not even guys coming in the room...night had more guys coming through, but only a handful of guys who weren't jerks or freeloaders.

I just switched ISP providers in hopes of getting a better deal and I'm testing it out this week. it came with a phone line so I just entered the new number into sm because I'd really like to be able to offer phone. Even though I went back and forth for awhile with support with my old number, I've never been able to get a call. The window to the left says 'you're getting a call', but when I pick up my phone, never ever happened. SM support hinted it might be the line provider issue.

yeah right. I just had a very frustrated, hot New Yorker get really annoyed at me because his call wouldn't come through, the window would show the message and my line would show as Busy, but we couldn't hear each other. He looked really horny and ready for a show but he was also annoyed and speaking really roughly over his microphone at me, I ended the show because I didn't want him to rate me badly!

anyway... it's NOT my phone, SM! grrr

I emailed them twice to have that 1 star removed but they did not remove it, that idiot wanted a toy show in a very uncomfy contorted position i was not able to perform so he rated me a One star. It's incredible how much power can a bad star rating can have!!?? but several 5 stars seem not to count that much?! Bleah!

Provide the name of the user in the subject. In the message be very factual and state why you need to rating removed. Include a screenshot if they asked for something illegal. Reiterate the name of the user that gave u the x star rating.

Sometimes u gotta help support locate the rating and who it was by. It'll reduce risk of them removing the wrong rating.

Make it fool proof. I think they appreciate it too. It helps locate which rating to remove.

Just a head's up, guys can still rate you when you end a show. It's only when you block a guy out of a show that they can't rate you, although there has been a couple times in my years on SM that that has glitched and a guy was still able to rate after being blocked.

That's true about blocking and rating. I have had a few who rated me after I blocked them too.

Thanks ~Carmen~. It picked up a bit, but it's just killing me. 53 more if that's even possible and I'm done.
