Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

hi ColinM. Could you help me optimize my website's database? Maybe this will help me improve my site speed.

Hi Colim. I'd just like you to tell me what day and time you could check the database update and optimization. It's just to disable the site and I can make a backup before you access the hosting (I use webuzo). Musicasampler.com has a lot of traffic and almost 80,000 files in jdownload.

Hi
I have looked at the site but I not familiar with this type of server.  As I understand it your concern is the response time for a Download. My suspicion is this is not a database problem but the amount of storage space for the downloadable files. That is I think that the sorage space might be 'paged' or similar, so the system has to load the relevant 'block of data'.  This would get worse if a user is allowed to download more than one Download at the same time.

Suggest you investigate that directly with your hosting service
Best wishes

Okay, I'll see what I can do, but the truth is, I've set this website to browse on different servers and it's always the same problem. The current server I have hosting the website is a 200 GB VPS and it only takes up 21 GB.

I never considered it, because if you notice, my website is only for MIDI files, each of which weighs less than 1 mg. If they were MP3 files, I would definitely use JD external. I suspect that JDownload starts to have speed issues starting at about 30,000 files. I created a LOCAL version of musicasampler.com with only 20,000 files, and the downloads move quickly. I think ARNO should consider this situation, since I believe I'm one of the few who uses JD with many files. I hope this gets resolved. Thanks, Colin.

Maybe if you manage to make a plugin to move the entire download folder for Amazon 3 or something similar it could improve the system loading somewhat.
