In other words, I could stream about 50 minutes of audio with only a second or two of pause time delay [[AKA congestion]]. After that date there was a steep decline in streaming performance and I went at upgrading my server with a vengeance to see if that fixed things. Upgrading my 700 ports only led to other things breaking. I am wondering if anyone else in North America has a DSL connection and has seen the kind of degradation in performance after doing (something) to their FreeBSD servers. I have around 1Mb down and 864Kb up ... according to the telco. Any ideas will be much appreciated. -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Journey Toward the Dawn, E-Book: http://www.thought.org The 7.97a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org
