I'm in the process of setting up radio streams via liquidsoap that use
playlists consisting entirely of remote files. I could use some advice
on a particular point.

There's one site with a lot of music that I would like to add to my
streams, but unfortunately will have to pass, because this site has a
lot of large files (which is not a show-stopper) and appears to have a
slow connection (large files PLUS slow connection... not so keen on
that). Files are downloaded at an average of 30 KB/sec from this site. I
have FIOS, so I know it's not my connection that's slow.

I'm wondering where I should put my cutoff. Obviously, it should be
above 30 KB/sec. This is really slow. Should I make it 100 KB/sec? 500?
1 MB/sec? This will help me later when I allow community members to
recommend new material for the radio streams, at which point I mosey
over to the recommendation and see how fast the connection is on that site.

I hope this makes sense.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
