    Please don't shout. It may take a day or two for your question to be answered. This isn't a chat room.

    The reason no one answered is possibly that your question is hypothetical -- No one knows how long or how often people will come to your Pc/website , how much download/streaming they will do !

    It is up to you to start with a certain amount of BW bought and if you exceed it you can adjust your need after.

    thanks Jeanc1, well, i made the question like that because if i know the bandwidth for an hypothetical quantity of users then i should know it for any quantity. i wanted to know how to calculate it...

    I think i have to take what i think could be the maximun number of users i could have at the same time streaming audio (mp3 or live radio) so i can choose a bandwidth for my connection....

    <<smiles>> that is the only choice you have -- it will all depend on your efforts to publicize your Radio Station ! -- At the beginning you may find not many are using your BW . Take this website here at Afterdawn , it grew over the years and now it's using BW that is measured in T (Tera) instead of G (Giga) Bytes. Watch your bill go up !

    Okey, i found some information, i can stream multicast o unicasst. In multicast, there's only one connection for all the users, so i need less BW. I guess i'll start with this method and moderate BW and see what happens...
    Anyway there must be a way to calculate the bandwith...
