FastDL question

[Darksoul]

Is there a way to speed up the process while using apache 2.0, say a module or something?.

There's no real way to speed up Apache without making CPU priority changes to it, but the speed is generally decided based on the bandwidth the webhosting sits on.

Hey Beaver,

Bandwidth is not the issue - the webserver sits on a 50Mbps connection and is on a dedicated box.

I talked to another large gameserver host about this, and he reported that when he tried using apache 2 on windows the downloads were slow as well but once he switched to IIS they went up to 2.5MB/s+. (apache was using somewhere around 200-300KB/s). (this is the host I'm talking about)

My apache is on a linux box, but theres obviously some issue here. Since his installation was completely default it shouldn't be a module causing the problem.

I'm guessing it has something to do with TCP optimization - particularly the window size for longer distances, but I'm not sure.

Hopefully someone can help me figure out the issue . The distro is ubuntu 9.10 server, LAMP install - all default with a VHOST configured.

Wow, sorry. I just realized how confusing the OP is. When I'm talking about the process I was talking about the fastdl transfer speed, sorry for any confusion.

Doesn't help me.

Take into account clients download speed..
If your test client has more than 300KB/s download, nevermind.
