Nate, I think you've nailed it down for me... the trouble lies in the client, and not the server. Transferring from the Centos server to an Ubuntu client with wget yielded 110 megabytes/sec over a gigabit ethernet link (pretty much maxed out I'd think) Found and installed a windows wget client so I could preform the same test (using -O NUL) ... 4 megabytes/sec not mbps as originally thought, but still pretty slow. I noticed my CPU was maxed out, and then found the antivirus process hogging all the time. Killed the antivirus and repeated the test, with a result of 86 megabytes/sec. Thanks a lot for the help! -Gordon On Sat, May 2, 2009 at 12:34 AM, nate <centos at linuxpowered.net> wrote: > Gordon McLellan wrote: > >> All suggestions are appreciated, > > Kind of a strange problem ... what http client are you using? > > If you haven't already try wget and send the output to /dev/null > > wget http://server/file -O /dev/null > > Just for maximum client performance.. > > nate > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >
