Mine is very stop and start, whether I'm on the FL site, runnerspace, LRC, etc. Anyone having better luck? I have a fast ethernet connection.

Mine is the same right now. I'm trying to get it figured out before the actual races start.
Stop and start here too. I'm guessing it'll only get worse, but hopefully I'll be wrong.
it's crap right now
It sucks here big time, now has been stopped for 2 minutes.
I can't decide whether it's comforting or disheartening that everyone else is having the same problem.
This is painfully slow.
Why are they even bothering putting on a "live stream" if they know it's going to be like this? So slow?
Is anybody doing anything about it at "runnerspace" or whatever? What kind of a joke website is this "runnerspace" anyway?
Do they even care? Why did they spend even one penny putting on a live stream (and why are they even bothering keeping it on) if it is obviously so slow.
Surely, whoever is in charge of this reads letsrun.com.
Ultimately, it is (or was) somebody's responsibility to ensure that the internet infrastructure would be sound prior to this broadcast.
Otherwise, they shouldn't have even bothered.
This is ridiculous. Someone should get fired for this.
They can't even get it right for the hardcore running fans... let alone a possible wider audience.
TOTAL COMPLETE INCOMPETENCE.
Same here. It's not you - it's their stream. It might get worse once the race starts and more people jump on the stream. Sorry folks.
disappointing
It has nothing to do with runnerspace. It's Foot Locker's broadcast and whether you connect from LRC, RS or the Foot Locker site itself, it's just as shaky. These folks have been doing it for many years and I'm sure they're trying hard as hell to get it right.

They just cut off Molly Huddle, to show that ding a ling Kara Goucher.
I have a 50 mbps connection and it\'s constantly buffering. This is just so bush-league for a major, national running event. And it\'s so unnecessary in an age when bandwidth and hardware are not expensive. People whine about why track and XC aren\'t more popular as spectator sports. This is why. Compare Diamond League, Commonwealth Games, et al. All classy.
Even the national anthem got botched by this watch-the-grass-grow slow connection.
The folks in charge should be expatriated immediately and never allowed to have an internet-based job ever again.
stream has been great for me... no issues at all yet.
Horrible. Very choppy...
The same thing happened for me last weekend for the NXN meet. Watch it on your iPhone if you have one- works fine, zero breaks.
The feed sucks big time.
Unless it improves for the girls race, then I'm going to skip the boys and catch the results later on.
Verrry aggravating.
I mean... isn't the entire reason Foot Locker REALLY puts this event on is to promote their brand to a nationwide audience?
And right now, they are making themselves look like IDIOTS with this horribly slow stream as we approach 2015 FFS.
Like I want to buy ANYTHING from Foot Locker right now. This is their big moment to shine in front of thousands and thousands of running fans LIVE all over the country.
And not only are they completely blowing it... but apparently, they're doing nothing about it.
Nice job, you pathetic (insert expletive here). Foot Locker boycott for life.
