Really? SopCast's been working fine for me so far. I've been using it, in conjunction with PPLive, for about 3 months or so. One nice feature I like about the SopCast client is that I can record the stream I'm watching very easily. Quite a few people use it that I can see. The more popular channels (e.g., ESPN, CCTV5) can have upwards of 200 users at any one time. I tried PPStream, but the install script---or was it the client itself?---doesn't seem to support English. So, all the text came out gibberish. Tough to use if I can't read what it says.
