I recently founded a company called Vircas (http://www.vircas.com) that is offering a better video streaming quality over the Internet (from TV to High-Def quality). We are currently implementing our network in the UK and we would like to find a group of great folks willing to download our player and test it.
Implementing a global network is a very important - and extremely expensive - step for us. As we have planned to launch our next product in July we better make sure that everything is working smoothly first
Here is what we need from the beta testers (windows users only for now):
Run an Internet connection speed test from http://www.speedtest.net or your preferred site. Write down the results.
After the installation of the player, open any trailers from that same page.
Here are the feedback details we are looking for:
***************************
CPU (GHz): RAM (MB):
Graphic Card:
Type of connection (Wireless, ADSL, etc...): Download Speed (from the speed test):
ISP name:
UK Location (County):
Your comment (How was your streaming experience?):

Regarding our player and our technology, we are not doing any progressive downloads so no content will remain in your hard drive. We are not using any P2P technologies. And 90% of our technology is sitting on our servers; the player just decodes our compressed files.
