I haven't used CFCONTENT to distribute large files... You could always whip something up that would allow you to maintain your ..htaccess files via some kind of CF admin.

CFCONTENT works great on a development server, but if I try using CFCONTENT to serve the video files on a production site-- then the server gets hammered and CFMX7 locks up. I read somewhere that CFCONTENT actually locks that instance of CF until it is finished serving the file. Which if I have CF set to only allow for 10 concurrent instances and the average video file is over three minutes long-- you can see why CF would lock up. The question is, how have others password protected video files using ColdFusion or any other technology for that matter (I am open to using apache or php or any method)?
