Public bug reported: I just setup a new ubuntu server 8.04 LTS as a LAMP server in our production environment. Earlier we have been using Debian for our production servers. In the testing phase i found out that with a standard installation of 8.04 server with all the updates as of this date this bug hasen't been fixed.
The problem is that when somone tries to download a file (example: PDF, FLV) its either VERY slow or the user isen't able to download the file at all. I googled the solution and found out that when i tell apache to not use sendfile (EnableSendfile Off) it works great. This is a problem since this is set to On as default. I searched for other bugs related to this problem and found one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/95393/ but im reposting since that is specific to a live-cd and this is a plain normal install.
