I've a problem that I can't pinpoint, and was hoping that someone could bounce some ideas off of me.
I'm getting different download (server upload) speeds based on where a file is found on the server, and how it is accessed. These directories are all on a same drive, though operated by different vhosts.
affected area:
The affected space/file is:
/home/auracle/public_html/bigfile.tar.gz
If I access the file directly via its site, http://xxxx.com/bigfile.tar.gz, I get a 35k download speed, consistently. Strangely, if I access it via the userdir tilde mechanism, http://1.2.3.4/~auracle/bigfile.tar.gz I get a rapid download speed.
...otherwise:
If I place it in a different directory that is operated by a separate user, accessing the file via any means yields fast download speeds.
what I've done/tried:
I've disabled mod_throttle from /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, which I understood would be the only means to throttle vhost upload speed. Further, accessing user auracle's space by IP, yields the same (bad) download speeds, so this mustn't be DNS related. Not sure if this is noteworthy, but the affected user space, is on an IP that differs from the primary IP. The tilde operator would still indicate that the inherent throttling is being done based on username alone however (since I understand that tilde access bypasses bandwidth measures?).
I'm at a bit of a loss past this point, and so any help is appreciated. Is this an elusive DA setting somewhere?
Kind regards.
