Thank you for all that you do! We love Subsonic Radio!

How do you donate bandwidth? Would I just setup some sort of relay, and allow X amount of listeners, then you add it to the list somehow? Or is it something different all together?

that's basically what you would do to donate. You would download the relay client that Sub set up (he'd have to give you the link for it), and however many slots you set up would be added to the slots already available (less one slot that you'd be using from the main server to run the relay).

cool... I might be able to donate some slots in the near future... once I move next month, i'll be getting an un-metered 15 megabit internet connection

Thanks Skull, once you do, come by the chat and we'll discuss it more. Back in the day (when I had to walk up hill to school, in the snow, BOTH WAYS) when we were low on bandwidth we used to ask people to help stream. We'd add 5-10 slots. It became difficult to manage. So now, if we add slots, it's only if we can add A LOT!

Ok, i'll stop by.... we close on the house on the 18th... I suspect i'll be all moved in by the 25th or 26th....

Just curious if you have a ballpark idea of how many you think a 15Mb connection could handle

hmm... actually I just thought about this.... while my download will be 15Mb, the upload is not. I think it's only around 1.2Mb.... so I guess I wouldn't be able to provide enough slots to make it worth it...

Excellent news. Thanks to anyone who had a hand in making this happen!
