> I dont think Limelight has never served HD content. Sorry, I'm not certain what you meant. Did you mean to say "I don't think limelight has *ever* served HD content"? Or are you saying it has served it in the past, but not now? Or?... > Akamai does both SD and HD and Level3 (the problem server) does HD and > Limelight does SD.

I got about 1/3rd of real time rate. i.e. it would take about three hours to fetch an entire 1 hour 1280x720 program. Are you saying that is a "good speed"? Or are you saying the slooow rate I got was anomalous and I should try again a few times to see if I was 'unlucky' when I tested this? > 2.93 and 2.94 are the same except for a fix for a few live streams. > Nothing changed with HLS. OK, that's useful. It means I can focus on the other issues above and not worry about my currently using 2.93.
