Buffering

[thecitylights]

Thanks to you great people here I got everything up and running...I'm just having one problem. My friends that are listening are telling me it keeps cutting out and buffering...can you tell me how to fix this?

Normally buffering is caused because you exceed your outgoing bandwidth level and it cannot send the data to the listeners fast enough.

You may want to try a bandwidth test to see what your capacity is. You can find several typing 'bandwidth test' in Google. Find out your 'upload' or 'outbound' speed and that will give you an indication of your capacity limits.

Then use the caculator here: http://www.radiotoolbox.com/online_tools/bandwidth.php which will give you a rough number of the listeners you can carry.
