Why it takes so long to download photos?

@TallandSlimMan
Sometimes I can download a photo in a few seconds, but it often takes 10 seconds or more.
Sometimes or at least not so often i can confirm this.
This seems to be a very long time for a 1 or 2 mg file.
Yes but it depends mostly on the Serverload of the Targetserver, nothing unusual.
It happens also by myself on Youtube sometimes, even with my fast Connection,
that a Video is not start on the fly, or it is loading to Death.
Here is an actual Speedtest from my Provider Vodafone.
I have a 200 Mbit/s Downloadspeed Contract.


xxx@FF2004:~$ speedtest-cli
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...
Testing from Vodafone Kabel Deutschland (95.90.224.224)...

Upload: 13.56 Mbit/s
xxx@FF2004:~$

Am I doing something wrong?
Nevermind, like i said sometimes the Targetserver has a bad Connection, nothing unusual.
Or how many people using the same Connection/Cable from your ISP at the same Time.
Try it later again, and all should be good.
I have a very fast internet connection.
You can use this Tool > https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli
to Test your Connection from Time to Time, it's also available for Windows.
or use the Webservice > https://www.speedtest.net/
to always be clear that on your side is all good, more you can't do i think, and patience of course 😉

EDIT: Here is also the Documentation for the speedtest-cli Tool.

What makes a Great Performance?

Your post is far from harsh
Puuhhh ... got Luck :)
and I take your point that it could be impossible to rate performance.
Not Impossible but Difficult 😉
While everybody has different wishes and criteria for judging whether or not to buy a card,
there are a few performers who appeal to a disproportionately large audience.
Those performers clearly sell a lot more cards to get a Take2 and I wanted to get some views on why that is.
Sure, because these few performers you mentioned got someone special Attention.
Like in my case Merry Pie, Viola, Gloria, Tina, Agatha Vega, Li Moon and so on, so on, so on ...

But at the end, that is not important, we are her to have Fun with the Girls.
And there are many many Shows where the Girls definitely have Fun to Tease us.
So i think everything is Fine :)
Lesbian shows aren't to everyone's taste and I can't think of any that have sold enough to qualify for a Take2.
That is a good Example, i have Lesbian Content for example from

girlsoutwest.com
wowgirls.com
uralesbian.com

and in my Opinion you can't compare these Movieclips with the Shows on iStripper.
Because it's a complete different Setting, the hard Stageground for Example.
But it would be sad, when there are no more Lesbian Shows on iStripper in the Future.
So this should be a keeper, for some Future Cards/Girls.
And I question whether Totem is on a good course.
We as a Customer doesn't need to ask those Questions, we can only see it on the Development
in the Future for iStripper. And we can make/have anytime influence for that.
And for myself i Like/Love the Product 👍
The games and SECs are apparently generating revenue,
but they are liable to take management attention away from the central reason we're
all customers - the pretty girls performing naked.
I think that's the wrong Topic for this annoying "SEC Discussion" 😉
If they take their eyes off that ball, the whole product will go down the pan.
Time, Opinions, Wishes and Needs will always Change, it's an unstoppable process.
I think that isn't really something new to us.

So what i will say, Lean back, Relax, enjoy your Shows brought you trough iStripper,
and let the Team do their Work. They know what to do, but they can't know every single
Wish and Need of every single User and from those who become one in the Future.

You can make always Suggestions, nothing wrong about that but at the End Totem
has to make Decisions, and not we self as the Customers of iStripper.
The only thing we Customers can make, take influence for the Decisions of Totem.
But at the End they have and they will always Decide, it is her own Company.

And the last Promotion for Example showed exactly that Totem isn't ignoring us.

So you see by yourself there is always the possibility that one or the other Suggestion,
heard from Totem, gets in a practical use from them.

And as long as we Customers and Totem came to a respectable Discussion,
and not these "whining and *****" thing, we will all benefit from it.

Lesbian shows aren't to everyone's taste and I can't think of any that have sold enough to qualify for a Take2. I tend to put those shows in the "special taste" bracket, along with the never-to-be-seen nun costumes, the schoolgirls, the cosplay and the nurses. No ***** in that, it's part of the variety Totem offers, but it doesn't necessarily mean a performer hits the mark every time (or 2 performers).

Still photos of a pretty girl cause ripples of excitement in the normally placid (!) population of users and, yeah, we freak and sales of her first card will be high. But sales of subsequent shows, and any Take2, will, I suspect, depend on whether the first show was any good. We've been here before and beautiful girls have bombed.

And I question whether Totem is on a good course. The games and SECs are apparently generating revenue, but they are liable to take management attention away from the central reason we're all customers - the pretty girls performing naked.

Oh no I've started mixing metaphors again. More wine needed....

Suggestions are always not a bad Idea but, (it's only my humble opinion) to answer the Question
what makes a great Performance "could be" impossible.
That Remembers me on > What makes a good lesbian card...?
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/44493/1
I mean Dudes with Dicks (and at least one Girl) talking about Lesbians ...
But i see only one Girl in this Topic, shouldn't there be more Girls talking about Lesbian Love?
No ***** meant, not trying to insult anybody.

Or another Example > Alya Stark & Veronica Leal duo pole show?
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/44943/1

And i was fixed myself from that Video, provided by yoursef @pantalone and for sure i Love that.
And i would Love to see more Shows from that in the Future.

But at the Moment iStripper has 15959 registered Members (some of them are Ghost Accounts for sure),
and every Single User has different Wishes and Needs.

And also we don't have to forget the new Generation of Users who will come for sure to the
iStripper Universe in the Future, and they also have different Wishes and Needs.

I think Totem is on a good Course for now, and i think also they hear us.
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/44931/1?post=667195

And also we all know how to Freak out when we see a gorgeous Girl.
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/45000/1
But we didn't see any Performance from her yet ...

So at the End it could be difficult to answer that Question What makes a great Performance.
And hopefully my Post was not insulting or to harsh maybe. That shouldn't be the case.

This forum is an echo chamber for varied tastes, but one thing many of us seem to agree on is that some performers have “got it”, but some haven’t. A few performers have sold enough cards to get an immediate Take2. Many beautiful girls don’t sell enough, in spite of rave reviews and appearing to do all the right things. We all claim to want different things (big breasts, small breasts, real breasts, bare feet, xxx, tat-free, redheads, the list goes on), but then an awful lot of us instantly buy all Belka’s cards. And Nici, Avery and Sasha, and in the past Melisa, Valeria, Gloria, Hilary, Lucy – all instant Take2s. Our personal peccadilloes sell cards to individuals, but not in Take2 quantities.

So what is it that makes an instantly successful card series? It’s not physical beauty that we are all drawn to, either face or body – there are plenty of examples of beautiful performers without a Take2. It’s not necessarily the good dancers, the pornstars or the pro strippers. Whatever it is, if we could bottle it and send it to Totem, we’d enjoy more good shows and they’d make more money.

Well we can’t bottle it and Totem don’t know, when they book a performer, how she’ll turn out. I don’t think they always know when she’s done a few shows. They just publish and hope for the best. But I suspect there are common characteristics in hit cards. Here’s my list for starters. Maybe the directors can coach the girls to be greater.

1. Engagement with the viewer, eye contact, camera engagement. The hit shows all create a link between the performer and viewer and it’s the eyes that do it.

2. Expressiveness, humour, playfulness, characterisation and play-acting. Maybe get the girls to define a theme and then act it out, rather than deadpan the strip. Maybe plan “surprises”, such as costume incidents, and tutor the girls to react and involve the viewer.

3. Variety, either in dance or mood. Sometimes driven by the costume, but the performer really needs to buy into it and have a list of things to do in her head when she starts. Different for each show, if poss.

4. A sense that they are enjoying what they do. Confidence and willingness to be explicit, even if they’re playing shy (really being shy never seems to earn a Take2).

Is this list correct and in a sensible order? What have I forgotten? Or is the ability to project personality, while stripping, innate and untrainable in the limited time available to the Totem directors? Or is it about something other than performance? This isn’t the thread for demanding more nun costumes or stuff specific to you, but what do you think makes certain card series winners?
