OK Folks... we have news on this front and it's not very good or pleasing.
Our kind streaming company have notified that someone is trying to hack into our streams, along with a couple of other stations they do the streaming for.
Fortunately for us, and just to prove how stupid they are, they managed to leave a very nice fingerprint (in the shape of their IP address) and steps are being taken to recitify the situation along with reporting them to the authorities. Unfortunately for them, they live in the USA where this kind of thing is taken very seriously.
We believe this to be an attack on our streaming company, rather than an attack per se on ARfm and if you think we're p*****d off you should hear what the CEO of the streaming company thinks! LOL

There's always a party pooper out there and the quicker they can be removed, the better.

Steve, is your server overloaded? I am getting a "server full" error message no matter what application I use to connect.
Anyone else getting this message?

Yep, me too.....still can't get on tonight (server full). Also, like you rocklady, I've been having problems for weeks now with the stream (always seems to be buffering). Hope to hear at least some of the show tonight!

It's very strange! I wonder if it purely down to numbers of folks listening and it's maybe just the luck of the draw
