BBC Olympics streaming stats

I think the BBC underestimated the amount of traffic they'd be doing. I watched a lot of the weightlifting (as that's the sport I participate in) and it paused about every 30 seconds.

And I heard a lot of complaints from other BBC viewers too.

One anecdote deserves another, I watched a lot of it and don't remember any pauses. Perhaps your internet connection or your computer is crap.

I thought so, too. But I was talking to people on IRC all over the world, including in the UK, and they were all saying the same.

It might be related to sport -- more popular sports getting more bandwidth, perhaps?
