    You may also want to use a CDN, this would get you geo-located CDN caching, which will cut down your bandwidth requirement and speed up downloads.

    The free tier from CloudFlare should be enough, they should cache pretty much all your download files under 512 MB, meaning that even if a file is downloaded 1000 times, your server may see only a dozen of requests. You could also get free https support through them as well.

    @zarg Yes we are using cloudflare for caching the site. But they don’t cache downloads, at least not the free plan.

    I think the download on the server is corrupted from a bad upload sorry, I have been trying to download a new image from Chuwi all week but its so slow and stops before it’s completed.

    The free plan should cache them just fine, but your server  is configured incorrectly, f.i. when downloading  “Air 3G Updated WLAN And BT Drivers Nov 2014″ the response comes back with the following headers in the response:

    Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0
    Pragma: no-cache

    Which of course disables all caching 🙂

    Also the Epxires header is incorrect or not set:

    I agree on the fact that files often disappear from Google drive and such, but still, you could upload it to both. That way, the file is safe on the techtablets server, but initially (when demand is maximum) it can be downloaded from Drive (maybe even at higher speeds)

    I not too clued about about this, do you know how to enable it? Maybe you could PM me 🙂 I thought cloudflare didn’t allow zip, rar,tar,exe etc to be cached unless you’re on the paid plan. https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200172516-Which-file-extensions-does-CloudFlare-cache-for-static-content-

    I have moved some of the files doing huge bandwidth to Google drive. Like the PiPo W3F images. I think google drive might be okay, but I won’t be using mega for anything long term. Google should be around forever, Mega could end up like megaupload.com …..

    I agree. After all, mega is owned by Kim Dotcom, former owner of megaupload.

    Yep, I remember Megaupload and Kim. He’s living in my country and shouldn’t even be in NZ. We don’t want him.

    Anyway, the server move didn’t go as planned. I had to move back to a server in the US and retn something much more beefy.
    Octa Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU D-1540 @ 2.00GHz, Raid SSD drives and 32GB of DDR4 ram, should be enough for future-proofing the site for now. But I’m going to push many of the downloads out to drive now to stop the failed large downloads.

    Sorry working on it, just moving the site to https with a tech and things didn’t quite go as he planned. Will back to normal asap!

    Clicking on your name where it says Howdy Randy, then messages doesn’t work?
