Thanks bro.

Last week I was determined to give up on streaming since everyone chooses to use multiple sources and that sabotages the process.

THank you for streaming that! I truely appreciate that very much!

Yeah TO has been lacking in the performance department too.

Thanks for streaming that for us, Star Gazer.

Glad most of you could get it.

The seeds were at the bare minimum for a broadcast. I'm considering going public with the broadcasts so we can get more bandwidth from abroad.

Joe, I think you are misunderstanding how that program works. There is no "Bare minimum". The application lets people connect to you, then uses their bandwidth to let others connect. Contrary to popular belief, the stream quality does not get better the more people you have. At best, it stays the same. More often then not, it deteriorates.

Your right about the additional connections part. One connection feeds the other (seed for seed/P2P broadcasting).

But there is a "bare minimum". There needs to be at least a dozen plus connections for the stream to be decent. About 20 would be perfect. But beyond that, there is little difference. And too many can be a problem to a slight degree.

I got this bit of info from some reliable sources a few years ago, and from my experience it has proven to be true.

Today we were flip-flopping at only 11/12 connections. I've had as many as a thousand when I broadcasted publicly.

We broadcasted the initial airing. You'll have to wait for a rerun on HBO I guess. That or download it from my site in about 24hrs...... http://cowboysmedia.com

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately too many people have technical problems. And there is little we can do for them since every situation has it's different reasons.

The good thing is that most can benefit.
