Along the same line as the "limit bandwidth" option, perhaps there could be a way to REQUIRE a minimum bandwidth for a session ?  So if you have a lab that is split across 10mb and 10/100mb switches (or 10/100 and 10/100/1000), you might be able to tell the server to reject the slow clients and get the image out to the rest of the systems quickly ... then go back and run the job later for those machines with poorer connectivity ?  We have a few buildings with old/lousy wiring and we expect to see more problems when we upgrade those locations to 10/100/1000 switches.

Having your Ghostcast session only run as fast as the slowest client ... has a lot of downside (and downtime).
