Good news, everyone! Mixxx 1.7.2 for Win32 is getting a record number of downloads!
Bad news, from our $10/mo downloads.mixxx.org shared web hosting provider: "I apologize, but I was forced to suspend the script "/home/mixxx/public_html/downloads/mixxx-1.7.2/mixxx-1.7.2-win32.exe" as it was the sheer number of requests to this script overloaded Apache, causing issues for the rest of the sites on the server. Please be aware that this is not a CPU issue, but a traffic issue. The traffic incoming to this domain is causing Apache's clients to fill, causing other sites on this server to load very slow." They said it's not an attack, it's just volume, and that: "This might also be the right time to upgrade your account to a VPS or a dedicated solution, as your site may have simply outgrown our shared environment." This year, we've averaged about 1100 gigs of data transferred each month from downloads.mixxx.org, and this month we going to fall on the high side of that, maybe even as high as 1600 gigs. If we were to upgrade to VPS hosting with the same hosting provider, we'd have to pay $100/month in order to get enough bandwidth. Ideas? (We could temporarily throw 1.7.2 for win32 back on SourceForge..... but I reaallly don't like SourceForge.....)
