Icecast Streaming Media Server

[peepo]

Hello, I read some documentation on the load testing script & I would like to try this on my Icecast server I have running on a windows 2003 server.
Where would I find information on how to do this or how can I do this?
I didnt understand the node thing.
Thanks

The testing scripts we used are described on the web page, essentially a series of curl requests.

Hello, thanks, where could I find more information on this? I googled curl request but not sure how I would implemet that knowledge into running a load test on my server.

just look at what we did which is referenced on our home page, a couple of clicks and you would see this link http://www.icecast.org/loadtest1.php

Yes that was the page I read originally that made me decide to run a load test.
I have downloaded curl, but it has no installshield for a windows user like me, & all the 'compile' stuff is abit over my head, so damn cant do it

well I don't use windows so I can't advise on the best app for testing but you may find load test apps for web servers work equally well. Just remember that the content does not have a length.
