Hi,
I need to store many
how many is 'many'?
large objects (30+MB video files) in a way that Zope can serve them; plus, these files should be distributed over a large folder tree /mytree/... in my Zope system.
I really wouldn't do this.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong,
sure ;-)
but serving such big files blocks one of only 4 (per-default) of zopes worker threads. This means that 4 concurrent downloads make it impossible for someone else to get to your server,
No. Worker threads run as fast as they can, and are not constrained by client connection speed. Wirker threads transfer the response to the medusa thread, which spools the reponse back to the client. It can handle thousands of connections.
