New Year, New Readers

Record traffic was reached this month. In fact, it almost doubled in just one month. This leaves out a lot of file requests which were ‘offshored’ to The Coral Content Distribution Network. Coral handles extra loads — a couple of millions of uncounted hits in the case — so as to allow this server to gracefully handle and survive surges such as Slashdot or Digg Effect.
