Two questions:
- Are you using open source libraries to download the videos? if yes, what libraries?
- If lots of people start using 4vid, how do you plan to keep up with the costs of serving / running it?
- we are not using any open source library, it was all implemented/coded by us
- the service is fully scalable, it can handle lots of users without requiring any scaling
Did you like the service? Thanks again!
I appreciate your service is scalable, but surely you pay for CPU and bandwidth. Your application seems pretty bandwidth-intensive, as it's bound to be (80mb for a < 10-mins video off youtube), what happens if you hit gigabytes worth of downloads per day?
