Private file transfer is killing me. Media based adult site with apx 150.000 users and 100.000 nodes running on 2 dedicated servers, but still slow performance. Using pressflow, varnish, memcache, solr, apc..
Could http://drupal.org/project/contentprotector work somehow with
http://drupal.org/project/premium module ? Using premium module now. Sometimes a file will change
status without changing directory, so the contentprotector will not work out of the box. My site offers unauthorized access to thumbs, authourized access to fullsize for 1 week and after that only
premium users can access fullsize files. I currently do this via
private frile transfer, but its really hard on the server - and this
looks like a solution. Please contact me if you can make this work..
Or maybe CDN with access control would be better.. ?? Cannot keep thowing hardware at this problem.
Any other ideas welcome and appreciated
