[Icecast] RE: RE: Prevent client disconnecting fallen-too-far-behind

[Henk van de Ridder]

Hello Geoff,

Thank you for answering.
The problem is partly solved by setting the queue size from 100k to 500k

The problem is not the upload, there we use DSL.
The problem is the download part of our clients (Netgem-netbox, with 56k
modem)

With kind regards,
Henk
