There's never guarantees of having huge traffic but I do expect to get a considerable amount, the number of files available will also grow to several thousand within a year or so - there's certainly potential of having tens of thousands of downloads per month.
This actually makes me wonder if I should be recording the date of each - how would the DB handle reading/writing such a large table each time someone views the details? Perhaps I should consider just recording milestones with dates. > > NOTE: there's a good chance I will provide an API in the future for > > third-parties to access the file database.

There are third-parties (iPhone/Web) who could take a feed of my files and make them downloadable directly to their own app. Exactly how this would be programmed I'm not sure yet, this is something I've never done before and I am also new to Cake. I guess we shall see how I tackle that one :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
