In addition to optimizing code and db (I presume that includes using
things like memcacheD, APC and a clustered db system), you should also
take a look at using something like LVS and lighthttpd to serve your
static content.

If your webserver is getting busy fulfilling requests to a download
file, simply pass the download bit to a static server running a
lightweight httpd and nothing else. Files are completely static, so this
is really quite a cool solution for this type of situation.
