Last year I watched the worlds from ft william on mtbcut with a 512k connection. Low res , but watchable.

The other week I tried to watch Maribor on the same connection , but both mtbcut and freecaster didn't work too well. Audio streamed okay , but the video was lagging , I had to refresh every 5 minutes to get them back in sync. I'm guessing this was due to server overload , but I wasn't taking any chances on missing any more races , so I upgraded to 1500k.

Last night the 4X worked spot on from mtbcut , good enough to go full screen , sit back on the couch and take it all in. 1 hour of viewing was 400meg last night with the 1500k connection.

so can we watch it on the little screen in the link scott?

 

[kezzaM]

How much space to you think watching the whole of the DH would take up?

I have used 94% of my 20Gig download for the month. The new month starts on tuesday, and my dad needs the internet for work.

Qualifying times??? And yeh P.E assignment due tomorrow but Watching the World Cup is WAYYYY more important.

 

[ben_rides_a_bike]

anything to do with bikes or dh racing is more important than school. school work is at the bottom of my list of things i gotta do

 

[Scott]

yeap its fine to watch the video in the page I linked to. That's pretty much the same stream that all websites are using.

Connection wise I think the bare minimum is 512k, but 1500k is recommended.

For 2 hours viewing you'd be looking at around 400MB in download quota.

I believe that is your wireless connection to your router. Your actual Internet connection speed will be different. Best bet is to try a feed on freecaster or mtbcut.tv to see if its fast enough.
