well, I'm glad it's not just me. Freecaster, or whoever is at fault for this, needs to get it together. The only way this is ever going to work is if the feeds are uninterrupted and the viewing numbers continue to grow beyond the core group.

They need to give up hosting it themselves and just output the live stream to a site that can cope with the bandwidth and relay it on, something like http://www.stickam.com/

(that site will allow 1000 concurrent viewers for $79 a month. I can only assume there's similar sites out there that would support 10,000 or 100,000 for a bit more).

Going from page not even loading to a flawless stream is odd. I wonder if that's a byproduct of people saying "**** this" and going out, or if they literally tripped over a cable or something :D

Why even have commentators if they aren't going to commentate? If the riders are in the finals then they should provide commentary on them top to bottom. :think:

If whoever ended up 4th just rode over (like any guy would have done :D) whoever finished 3rd that crashed on the grass, then she would have finished 2nd, instead of 4th!

I bet she's taking it well.
It always seemed to me (from watching the vids) that jill is really hard on herself or expects the best. What i mean is her body language is really easy to read when she is disappointed with a run. Whereas some riders don't seem to express that as openly.
