<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On Windows XP <FONT size=2>VLC streaming with both
http and mms, bandwidth maxes out at about 400kbs over a network
connection (even local LAN) . The data rate starts shooting up as you start
streaming but flattens out to a constant rate of around 400kbit/s.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=2>If you stream between a VLC server and
client on the same machine there is no problem. You can read and play video
files from the XP machine over the lan connection without hitting a limit. So it
looks like a bug with the VLC tcp output for mms or http.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are several posts on the forums about this
problem and many thousands of folks have viewed the posts but there is no
