[icecast] bit/bytes

[Chris Weaver]

This is something we [at ResonanceFM] have to
constantly deal with. I'm currently throttling our FTP
rates because it keeps knocking out our stream :-(

We were lucky in that respect, a fan happened to work
for Interroute.com and could relay our stream over a
high bandwidth network.

Has anyone had any experiance at multicasting ?
