I already have FreeBSD installed. Just wondering if there is a streaming 
server for it.
Hardly can believe that dedicated download (by opening the remote file 
in a media player) will be more efficient that a streaming server that 
takes care of bandwidth throttle and average processing time on (http) 
requests.

I want to provide some animated presentations with voice over that have 
been recorded earlier.
