There's a big : difference in the errors you can get from trying to make a connection, : no route to host, connection refused, just really slow, blah blah. Good point. I put 1.3.7 back and tested. The initial bogus servers worked pretty much okay. : You're looking for test cases where the connect time would be REALLY : slow. or at least he time to determine there was nothing to connect to. : most running machines will just refuse connections immediately, so many : the bogus servers are a good test. :) I believe I've found a fairly reliable test case that can be recreated. I substituted the orginal "bogus" servers I used the first time with two IP addresses that go to some dial-up accounts with static IP accounts, where those dial-up connections would not be on-line. I can supply you with these IP addresses in private email if you wish to replicate what I've done. With these in place I was able to get 1.3.8beta2 to also stutter. :{ What can I try next? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael | mfaurot | Were there fewer fools, knaves would starve. - Faurot | atww.net | Anonymous --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
