Is there a way to determine how many users can listen to my live stream at one time? My Upload Speed is 512kbps. I am going to be streaming at 16kbps or 24kbps. I looks like everytime someone connects it starts a new stream, does this mean it is only uploading 1 stream to everyone? This bandwidth thing is very confusing.

I think that you are right - BW is not a multicast system. Each client starts a new connection at the relevant bitrate...!!

BTW, you get about 180-200k reliably from a UK ADSL line, but it depends on your location and ISP.

Hi Eric Try this one: 512 Kbps : 24 Kbps = 21 listeners // 512 Kbps : 16 Kbps = 32 listeners - or it should be <_<
