Help on streaming limitations - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi, need some help. I am helping a buddy create a site that will have online videos, but lack the experience in this area. We will have about 200 30-sec WMV clips on this site. This should not be a problem; however, she is very adamant about making sure a single video can stream to 500 concurrent users. I have no idea how to test whether the server can handle this. Is there anything I am missing or am I just good to go?

thanks mucho and gfy

Get a couple buddies to stream files at once.. as long as you've tuned the server correctly to handle it.. shouldn't be a problem.

You should be able to handle a 1000 streams no problem. If set up right, hell 10,000 connections.
