RealPlayer reports that this is encoded at 3185.3Kbps. My ADSL link is
approx 500Kbps if I'm lucky, and a typical 56K modem is approx 50Kbps, so
it's not surprising the "buffering keeps hanging" - a typical user won't be
able to fill the buffer fast enough to do anything with the stream. (Or am
I reading something wrong here?)
