The problem is with needing a relay server. Programs like Coffee Cup and Webcam32 just upload videos using the single small upload bandwidth that the sender has (DSL or Cable line usually) directly to the viewers. My friends at Gwen Media use Real Media Server. They send their webcam to the server, then the server broadcasts a separate stream for each viewer. With Coffee Cup, it's one stream and many users, so the small upload bandwidth gets saturated quickly, and then streams slow as hell. With using a server system, you can stream to as many people as your hosting package can handle, or that you want to pay for. So the cheap yet really crappy way is Coffee Cup like programs, or the well working but costly way is to pay for a streaming server and the bandwidth for it. I have yet to find a happy middle ground between them.

Microsoft Windows Media, Apple Quicktime, and Real Media are 3 server systems that I know of off the top of my head. I'm sure there are plenty more out there.

I hope that helps.
