Yes, mod_accel buffers completly uploads and starting from 1.0.8 broken uploads even do not go to backend. The are two reasons: 1. Backend should not wait slow client upload. 2. To implement simple fault-tolerance I need to collect whole upload. Although second reason does not require to collect whole upload before sending it to backend. There is workaround to use UPLOAD_HOOK on backend - you can use mod_proxy with mod_accel: ProxyPass /upload/ http://backend/upload/ ProxyPassReverse /upload/ http://backend/upload/ AccelPass / http://backend/ AccelNoPass /upload/ Igor Sysoev
