[users@httpd] Download problem

["schlumschlum.schlumschlumschlum@laposte.net" <sc...@laposte.net>]

Hi !

We have a strange download problem with an apache 1.3.22 
server : 

We have an upgrade service that follow this process :
	
        - the client connect to our server and tells it 
version of the soft.

        - the server read this version and create a temporary 
folder in which he places all the files to download to upgrade 
to the latest version. Usually there are about a thousand of 
files (less than 5 Ko each) with the .html extension (with a 
non-html content ...) and a few whose size is 150 Ko or so. we 
send the path of the temporary folder to the client.

        - the client download all the files...

The problem is that during the download process, the flow 
decrease regularly. We tried to use a SCSSI hard drive 
thinking it might be an access disk problem but ... nothing 
changed.
So :
        - Does it possibly be an Apache bad configuration that 
causes this decrease of the bandwith during the download ? 
        - Does the Content Negociation can have something to 
do with it (as we use .html extensions without any html 
content inside) ?
        - Does it be possible to make a specific configuration 
of Apache for that it can handle such requests faster ?

We are making some other tests, but ANY help would really, 
really be appreciated !

Thanks in advance.
