Hello everyone, I am really new to streaming. In fact, I just had my first ever stream, about an hour ago. Anyways, the problem that I have with my stream is that there is like a 30-40 minute delay between my game and my stream. I really don't know what could cause this since I am really new to this. Please reply ASAP. Thank you and have a nice day. My streaming link is www.twitch.tv/moneero If anyone replies in the next 20 minutes, I am still online and I can make a test stream or something to show you my problem.

I don't know the exact delay, but it's more than 15 minutes. I knew that because when I ended a game of League (the game took 42 mintues) and then immediately I opened my stream on my phone and I saw that is was minute 23 on the stream itself, I even heard the noise that I was saying around 20 minutes ago.
I didn't, it's unchecked and it's set on 0 anyways.

Can you grab a log from a streaming session?
I am not exactly sure, but I think it might be because my internet is really really poor (4 mbps down and 0.48 mbps up) I just figured this information might be useful.
Hold on this might change some things, I just made a test stream and I saw that there was a 4 minute delay between when I pressed the chat on the League client and when I saw it appear on the stream.

A Killer wireless card, no less. Try installed the drivers only package and remove their network configuration utility if it is installed.
I apologize but I don't get you, can you tell me what to do? Or could you tell me if I could even stream with an internet this bad?

Use the Twitch Bandwidth Test to find the best Twitch server to stream to. Set Duration to Medium. You can uncheck any regions you're not in. After the test runs, click the Share Result button to upload a screenshot, which can then be copied and pasted here. Get TwitchTest from http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/tech-support/478845-twitchtest-twitch-bandwidth-tester
Will do. When I am done, I will send you my results. Thank you so much.

So can I fix it with messing around with the settings or is it really bad to stream with this internet? If I still can stream, do you advice me to? I'm just asking to know if it's worth it, since it's just gonna be a waste of time and energy and I'm not gonna get that much out of it, since no one likes to watch streams with half an hour delays.

The twitchtest results show that you will not be able to stream on that current connection.
Alright thank you so much for wasting your time to help me. Just one more question, what is a good internet speed to stream constantly and streaming in 720p?

For 720p, 30fps, at least 4mbps upload stable would be recommend to avoid impacting anything else you're doing. You would stream at 2500 bitrate for that.
