Hello,

I have an Apache instaled on a Linux server.
When I try to download a file with a Web Browser (Microsoft I.Explorer or Firefox), it takes a long time (an hour) for a file of 1 MB. And the Web Browser is almost bloqued. It occurs from several diferents clients.

The download is a simple GET action. There is a directory in the Linux served, configured in the Apache config file (httpd.conf).

The curius thing is that if I download a file, the second time I try to download it, is very fast (from the same client or from another), as if the server cached the files.

I don´t know what ocurrs. Any sugestion is welcomed.

The files are in the server path: /intranet/var/docs/documentos/
This is my Apache configuration file (httpd.conf):

    ServerRoot "/intranet/opt/apache"

    MaxKeepAliveRequests 100

Thanks in advance. :)

Any firewalls?

Cheers,

No firewalls.
Apache is installed in a server in the LAN.
