Just making a suggestion that may prevent one of your app servers from going down. Nginx can handle 50,000+ concurrent connections, 10,000+ on an inexpensive Linode VPS [1], so if you want a solution, there are ways of getting there without forcing users to do something that this discussion shows they're unlikely to do. Tim [1] http://markmaunder.com/2009/how-to-handle-1000s-of-concurrent-users-on-a-360mb-vps/ -- note that the $20/month VPS has 512Mb of RAM now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
