Help With Speed - need to speed up for server

illdevilinc
Hi everyone,
For my site i host a server that is used to broadcast videos to my users. But the server is on a heavy load. It will host over 400 videos and will be constantly accessed by many people at once. The server is also used to give each user 25 MB of space to be uploaded, downloaded, changed and what ever. I am currently on 1.5 MBPS DSL. I would rather not hqave to spend more money on DSL and am wondering if there is any programs that will speed the server up by at least 10%. Or if there is a way that i can compress the videos so that they are accessed with less of a download. If you know of any programs, compression options, or any other ways that i can speed up my server and the DSL please tell me! The server runs off a Toshiba laptop with 100 GB (server use only) of space, 724 MB of ram, Pentium 4 processer with 2.7 GHZ of speed, running on Microsoft Windows XP SP2 2003 edition And is used for a lot of different tasks on a daily bases. I really would appreciate any help that anyone can give me to improve this server!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!

And if anyone is interested my site url is :http://www.idimetalmusic.net
And if that URL dosent work then use this one: http://www.metalmusic.trap17.com
For a sample of the speed of the videos you can go here: Preview of In Flames videos (i am remodeling the pages to work better so this page may be down)
Thanks again

I'm on dialup so I can't test your videos, but If you could make all your videos the same, or ask viewers what screen resolution they ould like to see the video at, say 320x240 or 640x480, that way people who just want to see smaller videos can without worrying about using their bandwidth or your internet/server as much. I also hear great things about Apple's H.264 video compression scheme.

Edit: I see you are using Windows media streams (I think), you might want to consider going to Flash player streams like google video uses.

If you know any is there any converters to go from mpeg to what ever the flash format is or is the flash format something that can use an mpeg file?

I don't know of any convertors but the flash video player uses FLV files, so you'll need a program tht can make flv files and then a swf player, the program might just come with that, though.
