Spiro Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 How fast is exactly your connection? Go here and give us both the up and down numbers. Then we can tell you if you can help. Don't forget to mention your location and if you are behind a router or in a university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikthegreek Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I would be willing to help too since my connection is fast as well. I am in a university but i am able open ports and contribute to the streaming process. I checked my connection in the site you gave a link to and this is what i get: 2005-09-08 20:50:50 EST: 3107 / 1893 Your download speed : 3181685 bps, or 3107 kbps. A 388.3 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed : 1939078 bps, or 1893 kbps. So let me know how i can help out. nikitas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiro Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Nikthegreek, Thank you for your message. It's really great to see pople who are willing to help the omogenia. Your download/upload speeds are really very good and it could help us greatly. Being in a university though means that you are behind a router (100% sure) and it is not possible to upload any video/audio like this, unless you get out from the router (something that is very very difficult, unless you have access to the server or know the network administrator very well). The worse thing is that you appear to contribute to the stream but you really are not since your connection doesn't allow you to do so even if you have the right ports open! You are what we call "a leecher" (and it's not your fault of course). Our biggest problem in the stream are the students from universities who even with their ports opened they don't contribute anything to the stream, consuming a huge amount of our bandwith making the stream suffer if not collapse. If you (and all other students) can watch the games from a home connection that would really be a big help. If not, I cannot really tell you not to connect. i just hope we will be able to hold you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest geok Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Spiro is right with what he said about people in the University. A couple of weeks ago Spiro and I tried to see how I could help (I have an upload speed ranging from 3Mb-5Mb/second) and although I can open the ports, I am a "leecher" unfortunately-Spiro found that I am behind a router. So I am trying to avoid sopcast whenever possible. These guys are great, so perhaps they may find a way that we can help them, somehow...

nikthegreek Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 It's really a pity that i have such a high upload speed and still can't help... I still have a question though. It seems that the problem is being described too abstractly...The fact that one is behind a router shouldn't automatically mean that a person cannot connect. After all what a router does is forward IP packets...Does the problem go away if we open the appropriate port on the router or is there something else that stops the uploading process? nikitas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
