So I developed a Chrome extension that uses some proxy trickery to try to redirect your connection to a US Twitch server. Used in conjunction with my "Experimental Twitch Proxy", this has resulted in a massive improvement in my ability to watch Twitch lag-free. Maybe it will for you too! Give it a try! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/twitchtv-europe-lag-fix/hkoehmlkhjgaboegkondkciclminpjof?hl=en Some downsides: non-partnered streams seem to be region-locked, so the US server won't allow you to connect. This will result in a 5-10 second delay when loading - the extension will detect that the server didn't let you connect, and send a redirect request so that you connect as normal. It is incompatible with any other PAC extensions (usually country bypass extensions). Also, this may not help at all for you, it's very likely ISP dependent. That is very interesting because for me it is the other way around. I block the NA servers with a firewall to get a lagfree experience on EU ones. Kind of puzzles me, that it is the other way around for so many people. | ||

Your ISP probably has decent routes to EU twitch datacenters. | ||

Your ISP probably has decent routes to EU twitch datacenters. Well, not really. If you open a stream you initiate a connection to a Twitch server at 192.16.71.174 (in the US; probably their main datacenter). It then gives you (I assume via some sort of loadbalancing) a server to connect to. This can be anywhere depending on the result of the load-balancing. What I do is blocking NA ones, so if I get a NA server from a loadbalancer I can't connect and automatically send a new request for a server. It is basically like refreshing the browser window untill I get a server I want. But that was not what made me wondering. I am just puzzled that for many people NA servers seem good and EU ones bad, while for me it is exactly the other way around. | ||

I noticed that "source" doesn't have a fix value. low is always at 350kbps, medium at 800kbps and high at 1600kbps. source from artosis is 1623 kbps, elfi with 2372 kbps. | ||
