Hello Jim (regarding server slowdown issues)
by Ron Lindeboom on Oct 8, 2008
Regarding the delivery of Flash (and Quicktime) files, our four Quad-Opteron servers are on their own load-balanced hardware router and even that is not enough to keep up with the incredible number of people trying to download our tutorials. This morning, as I write this, there are about 500 people at once trying to download these files. We have had a 100Mbit pipe (which is comparable to 128 T-1s operating concurrently), and just this week we put in the job order to have our system rewired to a 1Gbit ethernet that will boost throughput. That will boost it to 10x its backbone. We also have another two servers being built to help take some of the load. Unfortunately, we would have to be gazillionaires to be able to build a site that never runs into issues on delivering dynamic media files. So, since we are not, we do the best we can and hope that people will understand that sometimes they will get a delay when traffic is excessively heavy.
Best regards,
Ron Lindeboom
Director of Business Development, Creativecow.net

Nice job on these.
Unfortunatley, though, the flash progressive download or stream or...progressive stream is tending to stutter quite a bit, do there's a lot of 'waiting' for the download. I'm not on a slow computer and my connection is not slow, so just a little feedback for you guys. Maybe you'd want to provide a quicktime option as well? I really want to see the rest of this video, but I fear it will take a while!
