# there's a share ratio in some clients... a share ratio of 1 is

# It's a 128kbs MP3, yeah?
I might be able to get some people to offer a 64kbps rebroadcast of the stream, or maybe a lower quality one - perfectly adequate for speech.

Would that be useful?

This sometimes makes BitTorrent go more woosome, sometimes you just can't tell. BitTorrent is definitely the way to go for something like this though, so everyone else should stop whining ;)
