Re: [videoblogging] Re: Server stats question

one would hope so, but unfortunately this can be a significant problem AJAX apps: some servers are getting hammered with lots of small requests. think "number of connections" for a server.  in that case, size is not really the issue.

If you look at your server log you might think that BITS is hammering your bandwidth because of the high number of requests. This is because it is making requests to the server for small chunks of a file rather than one request for the whole file itself. Once it has collected all of the bits of a file, it marks it as being finished and makes the file available to the user. Doesn't that create a substantial (and unnecessary) amount of overhead for the webserver to deal with?
