XFileSharing Pro - Caching & Optmization of XF-Pro?

[FZee]

Hi,

I own two sites . One is php based file sharing and the other is XF ( this one ofcourse! )

my other site uses php's APC Cache to cache the php files & i asked my host to tweak the DB to make the server fast.

What sort of Caching software can i install for this script ? (XfileSharing)
Also what tweaks can be done to keep the server speedy....

(Im keeping dl.cgi because i want to restrict speeds on my 100mbps line or is that a bad idea to enable direct links ? )

Thank you Sibsoft

FZee:

XFS Pro 1.7 doesn't work under mod_perl, so wait for a future release.

(Some other possible accelerators are FastCGI or PP/Speedy, but I haven't
tried those yet.)

Some tricks to take some load of your server.
- Use CDN solution on static content as images, css, swf, js
If you do it right, you can switch between cdn and regular by changing a line in a modifed XFS config "asset_url" "images_url"

- Use website analyzers/optimizers to tune your website and find errors.

- use nginx mod until they make xfs work with mod_perl
Then you dont use much perl at all except for loading the file page.

Hi,

According to my statistics software :: Munin ::

I have paid for a 100MBPS Eth0 port which is ummetred.

for 7 days my software only report 40MBPS is used a

I have put DIRECT LINKS for all users . and unregistered.

So what can i do make sure my server use all 100MBPS speed ....

How many users can download with 100MBPS ?

Please

Thank you

*Bump*

Did anyone manage to replicate this issue ? ..... My traffic is dropping badly because my uploaders complain of low download speeds.

How many users can download with 100MBPS ?

Fully depends on their download speed and your server configuration. Also note that there is a difference between MB and Mb, in your case we're talking about 100Mb per second.

I'm currently in the same situation, can't download with full speed. Seems to be an Apache issue as downloading via FTP goes fast. I hope nginx solves this issue.

Noticed the same here.

Yes , 100Mb (bits per second) umetered is what i get from my host.

i uploaded a sample.zip file on my root folder ..managed to get 600Kb/sec.

But the script itself never let anyone go that far.... 100kb/sec is the best you can get .

There's nothing wrong with apache since the CPU is idle at 2% average.

I don't know what else i can do next

100 KB/sec with direct links? That's extremely slow! Try other methods to ensure it's not related to your webserver.

In my case I'm able to download up to 2 MB/sec with difficulty. Via FTP I can get my full download speed, so I still think my problem is an Apache issue.

[FZee]

Yeah it is slow.

I use direct links for everyone. So im just trying to figure why this script can't even use the full 100mbps port or maybe i messed up some settings .

I dont know right now

try to upload big file into site root, download it through apache and measure speed. You will see the same speed as downloading through xfilesharing.
