Thanks for your reply ;) To answer to your questions:

- 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!

Hi, my tests were limited (I'm at work atm), but I liked it so far. I will probably use it more in the next days.

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?

The good thing is we are not hosting any video file, just giving you the original video file url. So in fact you are downloading the video from the platform servers ;) Feel free to use it as much as you want. Thanks again!

Ah cool, I didn't realize it was client-side only. Neat!
