Comment Feed for Channel 9 - System Update: Slowness when playing recent videos http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/Dev/App_Themes/C9/images/feedimage.png Channel 9 - System Update: Slowness when playing recent videos Hey folks,  Our Content Delivery Network (CDN) is experiencing very high traffic due to MIX10 session content. To resolve this, we will be blocking access to the MIX sessions temporarily while they copy all of the MIX sessions into various edge caches around the world. The end result of this work will be to resolve all of the poor streaming/buffering issues that we’ve been seeing on all of our properties, including Channel 9, Edge, live.visitmix.com and others.   We expect access to be re-enabled later today, with a current estimate of 8pm Eastern Standard Time.Thanks for your patience! en Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:04:23 GMT Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:04:23 GMT Rev9 Re: System Update: Slowness when playing recent videos Looking forward to downloading and watching the MIX content. Have you guys thought about making the MIX video downloads available as Torrents?

I've watched almost all of day 1 and 2, awesome content.  My favorites are the Windows Phone, but I'm biased Smiley

Anyway, thanks for posting all the content to the edges, and thanks for posting all the sessions online.  You know this already, but you and @ritzy are still stars in my books Smiley

It bodes incredibly well for the Windows Phone 7 launch and as a independent developer who plans to try and create content for that platform it makes me happy too!

How are you storing these things anyway? Moving to "cloud storage"?

as far as beeing blocked, well.. then you can fall back on the cdn Smiley valve/blizzard also have static servers, but they use peer2peer to offload. the nice thing is that the offloaded bandwidth scales right along with demand..

 

still dont understand why channel9/mix isnt hosted in azure though Smiley

 

also, high-wmv speed seems to be back to normal on c9, hopefully they'll be reanabled soon for mix as well. low-wmv for mix also works fine for me now, great work guys Smiley
