Need a new file system, plain help

Post by rosend511 »

Currently, I have a Download/Filesystem used with SimpleMachines Forum (SMF).
Due to my giant 300mb, 300,000 member MySQL database, my website at time uses a Crazy amount of CPU processes (was told from 20-27 virtual cores), therefor, all the hosts I have used will shut me down. (I don't blame them)

Either, how to fix, as my SMF forum is not needed anymore, but my filesystem is.
The problem is I have a directory on another server that host all my 36gb of files and can handle the bandwidth.
My problem with giving people direct access to the directory to eliminate the MySQL problem, is that there will be not download restrictions that my SMF 3rd party Download system has in place to limit the number of user downloads at one time, per day, etc.

What is a solution?

Sounds like the solution is to add download restrictions to your SMF 3rd party Download system.
