Save bandwidth on your hosted MP3’s
Jun 13th, 2004 | By Joe Taylor Jr. | Category: Tips
Thanks to the Internet Archive’s new FreeCache project, you can conserve your bandwidth when posting links to your MP3 or other media files.
Just stick the URL:
http://freecache.org/
…in front of your own URL. Like this:
http://freecache.org/http://yourserver.com/yourfile.mp3 (don’t click this — it’s just an example)
The system will locate another server that has already downloaded and cached the same content, saving your server a headache and speeding up the download for your listener.
