Camera 2 comes up just fine.
I don't understand the problem and it's frustrating.
Do you really want to understand?
If you run this in a terminal :
curl -s -D -
http://pixelcaster.com -o /dev/null
You will get information about the pixelcaster server. Which reads:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Cool huh?
You can see in the server description that the pixelcaster server is running a bandwidth limiting modification:
1.0.1e-fips mod_bwlimited
What this does:
The mod works as an output filter in the apache filters chain.
When a user start downloading something, the data goes through the mod. If there is a bandwidth limit, then the mod will start "splitting" the data into smaller pieces. Then it will start sending each piece with a small delay (less than 1 sec) between each piece, thus, reducing the speed the user downloads.
Eeach person watching gets smaller and smaller pieces with larger and larger delays in between the frames (for more and more people watching). All the way down to getting one frame, with a very large delay between getting the next one.
Now you understand.
