Hello,

It's like my streaming site is having troubles under my shared hosting account. Is it necessary to have box of dedicated server if it's streaming around 1000 mp3s at the same time? Or it's not that using that much CPU/mem?

It uses a lot cuz it probably runs under apache which is resource intensive. A far better option is lighttpd which is incredibly fast when dealing with static content (including streaming).

Almost all servers run apache as a websers which is gr8 for dynamic stuff, but when hit with multiple connections it uses a lot of memory for each one.

I've ran a site on a cluster with freeBSD+lighttpd which suddently had a huge number of concurrent downloads and it still remained fast.

Your misguided sonnyboy

Multithreading/multiworking in Apache is here now, yeh light does great and I won't dis it, but what is your point
