schestowitz> The connection keeps getting dropped.Apr 12 12:33
schestowitzWe have an error which is caused by the cache server/VM (running varnish). Basically, we never found a way around it. If your connection is fast enough to get the file within a window of 10 minutes, then you're fine. We started creating a subsite that evades the cache, but then we faced new and unexpected complications. Can you think of another workaround? On non-cached requests techbytes gets over 10k requests per week, so Apr 12 12:33
schestowitzwe could really use caching, otherwise the server acts like a media server and denies people from accessing text.Apr 12 12:33
oiaohmschestowitz: There is an option of placing the mp3 in rapidshare or somewhere else Apr 12 12:36
oiaohmschestowitz: So avoiding problem.Apr 12 12:37
oiaohmIe cannot download it from techrights use the filemirror solution.Apr 12 12:37
schestowitz> Nope.  On wireless today.  That 10 minute limit also kills the abilityApr 12 12:44

schestowitz> looking at the headers using http://web-sniffer.net, the header is setApr 12 12:45
schestowitz> already for no-cache so your proxy/cache needs fixing to obey thoseApr 12 12:45
schestowitz> header fields.Apr 12 12:45
schestowitz> Apr 12 12:45
schestowitz> PS. A non-practical work around is for me to log into a server with goodApr 12 12:45
schestowitz> pipes and download via it.Apr 12 12:45
schestowitzoiaohm: yeah, but sometimes I think we should try to subsite againApr 12 12:45
oiaohmschestowitz: I like a rule of data.Apr 12 12:45
oiaohmMore locations hosting harder it is to lose it completely.Apr 12 12:46
oiaohmSo having mp3 hosted else where as well I don't see as a bad thing.Apr 12 12:46
oiaohmIe if something happens to the mainsite we still have something.Apr 12 12:46
schestowitzI think gordon is already doing thatApr 12 12:48

oiaohmHmm is there a audio equal to youtube?Apr 12 12:50
schestowitzI thought about making youtube a host for itApr 12 12:50
schestowitzBecause there's conversion stuffApr 12 12:50
schestowitzBut..Apr 12 12:50
schestowitzMaybe too long to fit unless you have an elevated account thereApr 12 12:50
oiaohmWith pod casts I would suspect there has to be mp3 hosting somewhere.Apr 12 12:51
schestowitzlet me try something...Apr 12 12:51
