Streaming Radio - How much bandwidth per hour?

[Wiggins]

Hi

I have had a radio station on Shoutcast running literally from 9am this morning and was wondering exactly how much bandwidth it has used.

The station is 96kbps so am I right in thinking that I multiply that by 39600 secs (11hrs)?

1036800 bytes.

That comes to 1mb of streaming. Is that right?

That's kilobits so /8 for kilobytes - 12KB/s.
(12*39600)/1024 = 464MB~

0.5Gb.

**shuts Winamp down**

Cheers

Just goes to show that people can use large amounts of bandwidth without just downloading "linux distros" all day long.

Half a gig? Really?
Edit: Found this http://www.internet-radio.org.uk/tools/bandwidth/

It's nearer 40Mb

Try multiplying it by 11 hours.
