QuickTime measures the connection speed by transferring packets from
the server you're connecting to, not by connecting to a "standard"
server (such as a server at Apple). The measurement is made at the
time downloading starts.

Folks,
So, what does the Automatic Streaming Speed option in QT7
really do?
Does it test-stream some packets from the server right before
it starts downloading, and assign the highest available band lower
than the measured connection speed? Or does it measure bandwidth
from an apple.com server?
I want to know how the value is calibrated.
