It was incredibly smooth to watch at LibrePlanet, only glitching twice (and briefly at that). I was pretty surprised, but shouldn't be. The last time I checked the speed of my Tor connection, I got 645kbps, which is fast enough to livestream video. And occasionally I test Flash Proxy by running music videos through it :x For science. One thing he mentioned in his talk was that it took about a day for him to get everything set up. It's a pretty serious community fail if it takes an experienced developer who writes in C a *day* to get free software configured to livestream. This is something that should be wrapped into a usable, well-maintained app by now. Honestly. ~Griffin -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
