 Replying to [comment:21 feynman]:
 > It seems that Gtalk will only deliver so many messages in a given period
 of time. I tried other chat servers, and they are much slower. I can NOT
 watch youtube videos with hexchat.

 Is there a reason you're passing all traffic through `<message>` stanzas?
 Many servers will throttle those to avoid spam, `<iq>` stanzas are a lot
 more likely to work well. You could look at
 [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0047.html XEP-0047: In-Band Bytestreams]
 for how this can be done.

 In fact, you might be able to use that specification for the actual
 content data (leaving the signaling to `<message>`s or other `<iq>`s),
 that would hide the data making it look like ordinary file transfers.
