I had 24KB/s (~200kbit) average speed on a machine connected to 2Mbit line (almost unused ATM, because it is 3AM here). That was just before the file disappeared from the server. The clip is great!! At least the first 50% that I was able to download

The file has been published with "text/plain" content-type, which may be a cause of file corruption on downloading. I suggest "video/x-ms-wmv" for WMV files. If this site is running Apache 1.3 as stated in the server's response headers, then it can be set using AddType directive either in the main config file, or in .htaccess.

As for the encoding, have you considered using DivX or XviD instead of old WMV8? It should give you a bit better quality, and much better compatibility with different players. Deinterlacing the video before encoding should also improve quality. There is a good guide - explaining what interlacing is and how to deal with it - at http://www.100fps.com/

A Test Drive!

I have uploaded a 6 minute (64.3mb) trailer for Leonmoomin International 1 (MK166744), to my new server.

It is a big download, so only those with Broadband stand any realistic chance of getting this clip.

I you get to see it, please tell me what you thought of the trailer, it is the first one I have ever made? Also how the download went? I need to get an idea of how my server performs?

Thanks
