Increasing it to 40 fixed the problem. The problem was that our Apache instance only had a couple of worker processes, which wasn’t enough for all the traffic. Increasing it to 40 fixed the problem.

Congrats! I'm glad to see another great app built with Django, my favourite web framework. I'm looking for a good Django web host and I see lecturefox is hosted by WebFaction. According to their home page their "shared accounts have stood the test of Digg and Slashdot with no problem." I assume you have a shared1 account with 200GB bandwidth per month so I don't think bandwidth is a real issue. Why lecturefox was "dugg to death"? Was the problem the limit on "max total RAM used by long-running processes" (40MB for shared 1 plan)? Thanks Very useful site… Congrats!
