For the purpose of this thread, here is the scenario: 100 people are uploading 500 MB files at the same time. Each person has the exact computer configurations and same Internet connections.

Which of the following programs would take up less server resources (CPU and Memory) for the particular task mentioned above? Also, would any of the following allow faster uploading to the users that were uploading files?

javaatwork.com/java-upload-applet/details.html

VS

Thank You All very much for your expert knowledge ahead of time,

Joseph

btw, I need to add. The reason I am asking this question is because I am currently using a PHP file upload script on my server. I was told it uses too much server/system recourses (on the web server I am hosting with) and that using a JAVA or Perl script to perform this exact function would take up less system resources.

Thanks

It actually depends on your webserver itself. If your server has a lot of bandwidth and enough ram and powerful processtor then Java will be great. But Perl has been known to be a system rapist and could put a lot of load on your server. Besides PHP script should be good enough to run an uploading script....

      Crowdstrike the same service provider that caused millions of in damages? I hate disliking a company for a singular failure but they really screwed up.

    • Windows 11's growth slowed down in May 2025

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      As we get closer to October 2025 and the end of Windows 10 support, Windows 11 will pick up its pace and soon become the most popular desktop operating system worldwide. That's an assertion. It's also quite possible that the only growth will come from attrition as people and companies buy new machines that only come with Win11. It's also possible that we'll get a literal repeat of Win XP and Win 7, where a large number of users just waited until Microsoft gave in and fixed the core problems that the consumers were complaining about in Win Vista and Win 8 when they released Win 7 and Win 10.

      It's significant growth for Linux considering the market share, so it could have had that effect I described.
    • Microsoft and Crowdstrike announce partnership on threat actor naming

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Microsoft and Crowdstrike announce partnership on threat actor naming by Pradeep Viswanathan Whenever a cyberattack is discovered, companies disclose it to the public and assign it a unique name based on their internal procedures. Unfortunately, this leads to inconsistencies, as each company has its own naming conventions. As a result, the same threat actor behind a cyberattack may end up with multiple names, causing delays and confusion in response efforts. For example, a threat actor that Microsoft refers to as Midnight Blizzard might be known as Cozy Bear, APT29, or UNC2452 by other security vendors. To address this issue, Microsoft and CrowdStrike are teaming up. These companies will align their individual threat actor taxonomies to help security professionals respond to cyberattacks with greater clarity and confidence. It’s important to note that Microsoft and CrowdStrike are not attempting to create a single naming standard. Instead, they are releasing a mapping that lists common threat actors tracked by both companies, matched according to their respective taxonomies. The mapping also includes corresponding aliases from each group’s naming system. You can view the joint threat actor mapping by Microsoft and CrowdStrike here. Although this threat actor taxonomy mapping is a joint effort between Microsoft and CrowdStrike, Google/Mandiant and Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 are expected to contribute to this initiative in the future. Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Security, wrote the following about this collaboration with CrowdStrike: As more organizations join this initiative, the collective defense against cyber threats will undoubtedly be improved.
