Multiple users simultaneously? Oh my, I'm sure that's never happened on the internet before... Your web server will be more than a capable of handling a reasonable number of simultaneous downloads. Yes, bandwidth might be an issue and you should consult the terms of your host to see how much bandwidth you have been allocated and whether you need to increase it. If you do find you have more downloads than the server/bandwidth can deal with then you may want to consider moving the file to something like Amazon's S3, which will gladly take care of the problem for you. However, unless you are talking about a lot of downloads, or very large downloads, then I don't think this will become an issue.

As Johnny ² said, there really is no need unless you have excessive amounts of users trying to access the same file at once.. And yes you could have copies of the file on different servers if this becomes a problem, but this is not usually necessary. Regards, --Perspx

Pretty much most web servers are going to be able to handle multiple downloads. How do you think Firefox did the multi-million downloads in one day? Think about what you are asking.

So what. You just have people download portions at a time.

Probably via some load balancing. Which I would read up on if I were you.
