Streaming is out of the question. The link is ADSL. Download speeds aren't bad, upload speeds are noticeably less. Last year's webcam took a photo once every minute, and it took several seconds (sometimes 10) to upload each one. The photos were _not_ being served to individuals from the workshop - they were uploaded to a server at Dreamhost. Otherwise less than 10 people with their browsers looking at the webcam would have been enough to totally saturate the upload link. > As for the size of the files, we had conversations between a couple of > the developers on line for quite a while.
