Is it possible they (VM) see people who stream audio to a server as Peer2peer ?
I ask because I have been having terrible problems streaming a paltry 128kbps audio (mp3) stream to a shoutcast server, its ok for a while then after 40 mins or so listeners tell me my stream is buffering, and I have to quit.
Its extremely annoying, because I only stream 128kbps for 2 hours which doesnt come close to the limits before throttling, yet well before the end of my 2 hour live dj stream, my connection slows significantly, and when I test my connection the pings are always in three figures (ms).
I have been a live dj online for the past 8 years, and swear I had a more stable stream when I was on NTL 768/128, I could stream 80kbps all day and night with not a single buffer.
