Flatcast works simlar to popular fileshare systems like Kazaa, Limewire, eMule...
By streaming with the Flatcast application, the DJ builds with his visitors an chain. This chain is connected with nodes, wich acts as an share system. - One user gives the stream to the next one. Here Flatcast manage this nodes and sort out good nodes from "bad" ones. When Flatcast detect an good node, they connect next incoming users to this --Like an operator.
Using this awesome way of streaming, an DJ can reach thousands of users without to have an expensive server or an highspeed connection. And all this for free ! Other systems like Shoutcast, Icecast are limited and do cost a few bucks.
