In addition to optimizing code and db (I presume that includes using things like memcacheD, APC and a clustered db system), you should also take a look at using something like LVS and lighthttpd to serve your static content. If your webserver is getting busy fulfilling requests to a download file, simply pass the download bit to a static server running a lightweight httpd and nothing else. Files are completely static, so this is really quite a cool solution for this type of situation. --Paul
