Use the new TwitchTest tool instead, as TwitchTest will also do a test stream and monitor your bitrate and connection stability. JTVPing will no longer function due to Twitch API changes.

JTVPing will ping all the available Twitch TV ingest servers and show you the average ping and jitter. Generally you will find that streaming to the server with the lowest ping will give you the best results (higher bandwidth and more stable stream), although you should experiment with several servers to find out which is best for you.
Update (Jan 2014): Now uses the new Twitch API rather than the old undocumented XML ingest list (the latter no longer appears to be maintained).
As of September 2016, JTVPing is completely non-functional due to Twitch API changes. Use TwitchTest instead.
