Yesterday, I made a post about the newest addition to our $5 instant download collection: the second (and final) part of the JLPT 4 kyuu Vocabulary pack.  To celebrate, I decided to make the $5 download a $2.50 download.

All was fine.

We got a few orders here and there for it.  This was pretty remarkable since I only mentioned it here and in the sparsely populated TJS “What’s New” newsletter.  I hadn’t even mentioned it on the front page.

I was happy and all was fine.

Then I threw up an ad for it on the front page and sent our monthly (sometimes twice monthly) TJS newsletter and went to bed.  I woke up to more orders than we have ever had  (I think).

I was very happy and all was still fine.

But then everyone started downloading their files…at once.  TJS is on a dedicated server, but all those people quickly overloaded the server memory and the server just shut down.  After a quick reboot, I moved half of the downloads off that server and onto other servers to share the load.

Now I’m very happy and all appears to be fine.
