on Wednesday Mar 12th, I enabled HTTP compression, practically halving our bandwidth usage! Just in time for the overwhelming load that day! Wow, and we did not have to download a WinZip file to do this?

There used to be information about how many people were logged in to FR at any given time. It was kind of a neat thing to know.

On-the-fly compression works only if it also is enabled in the "client browser" (the browser software that people use to log on to FR).
I believe that in Internet Explorer 6, this feature is already turned on by default.
Here is how to check:
Go to Start+Settings+Control Panel, then double click the Icon that says "Internet Options." Now click the tab that says "Advanced" scroll down until you see "Use HTTP 1.1"; make sure there is a check in the box and press ok. Press ok again to close Internet Options, and close any open IE windows. When you launch IE again you should see that surfing is much faster than it was before.
In addition, if you are using a proxy like Proxomitron (Proxo), WebWasher, etc., you should also turn on "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections" by putting a checkmark into the box next to it.

How's your cpu load? Usually enabling heavy compression will further tax a cpu. Anything over a consistant 75% usage indicates need for a faster cpu or additional cpu's. Then again, for all I know, you're already using SMPs.

Our REACH is now up to 640 (per million internet users). WOOHOO and BUMP!!! Reach is the key stat, IMHO. Yahoo's Reach is something like 300,000 - so there's our goal. Kudos for the great work Robinsons.

Due to brain damage, some browsers do not work properly or at all when viewing a compressed page, and therefore must not be sent compressed pages. I hope I am not working on one of the brain damaged browsers!

Now:
Sustained bandwidth of 8 Mbits, peaking at 10 Mbits. 70 requests per second, often seeing 80 and 90 requests per second. No sweat. Give me more!

John, congratulations on running the state-of-the-art world news distribution process, period. This is history in the making. Hang in there!
