I don't know the answers to any of these questions. I do know that this occurs on multiple networks, i.e. ours and our customers, so whatever it is is not at all unusual. As such it would be great if either Apache was fixed or the necessary fixes to the Windows and/or Solaris configurations when this occurs were fully documented :-) Has anyone gotten *good* (e.g. something on par with 8MB/sec) download performance with an Apache server on Windows and a Solaris client? [Is there a counter-example to prove that this poor performance is not always true of this combination -- without cranking the ack interval to unreal values, that is.] -- Jess Holle
