Zorak can the people who got the flash to download rehost it or would that be :filez:?

More like :pt: Huss wasn't kidding when he said that 2 million people all downloading the flash would bring just about any host to its knees. Mildly surprised he went with Newgrounds but maybe they cut him a deal (esp. given the banner ad, etc on the page on MSPA.) Joke's on them, no ad revenue if your site's down.

EDIT: Really curious to see if he's able to find a solution; his blog post lays it out pretty clear. This is an enormous potential traffic spike for anything short of a global CDN (I...kinda doubt that "free" CDN startup mentioned earlier would work, or not cut him off about 30 seconds into the spike.) and those are Not Cheap. There really aren't any magic bullets here, so again: curious to see what the resolution will be.
