Afternoon,

ive got a question about http download speeds.
When people are trying to download something from my server via an http link it goes with arround 700~800kbps and not higher, the server is connected with an 100mbit connection.
When i downloading something on the server with wget i can reach the full 100mbit speed (11~12mb per sec).
Is there anything that i can do, change something in the config to boost up the upload speed on my server.

Regards,
Rookje
 
Well, what connectivity have your customer? for a 10Mbps should be about the correct speed, if they also have a 100Mbps so, maybe you having problem on your upload speed.

wget by default uses http. But you can't compare your speed with your client's speed.

So you should compare your wget speed (locally) with your browser's download speed, to see if the difference is because the browser is slower.

If you don't have a local linux box you can use a Linux Live CD (google.com) to try wget vs (for example) Firefox.
