[cma-l] Streaming Advice needed

[Gordon Nicholas]

Hi
 
Just picking this up part way through but I recall when I looked at using a home PC for streaming with users connecting in  there is a limit to the number of simultaneous connections that XP can support.I think it was around 10 or so but it was a couple of years ago.

Ah - there should be the bandwidth then!

Next thought.....
Could BT be restricting / slowing traffic on certain ports, or even blocking streams totally?

We stream out of the studio (to Canstream) but I have also streamed in to an Icecast server to do remote broadcasting - but our ISP knows what we do

If they all upload big files at the same time, you will notice a big slowdown in your upload speed.
