Apache/Windows slow upload
There have been numerous forum threads about this topic. I've been chasing this issue myself here and elsewhere for a few years as well. While I thought I figured it out, I was never satisfied with what I seen.
The issue is that no single http upload would utilize all of my upload (now at 500kbps). It would initially burst to full speed, then drop down around 220kbps and stay there. When another connection is made, it will transfer at 220kbps as well. I have personally seen this happen with running Apache 1.3 on Windows 2000 and XP Pro. Online, I've seen the same issue with Apache 2.0.
Well, after my recent decision to migrate my server over to Linux (running Apache 2.0), the first thing I tested was my serving speed. Result? Full upload speed! I can only conclude that, while running Apache on Windows is possible, it really is a hack at best.
As a side note, Shoutcast on Windows produced the exact same result of the mysterious "220kbps limit".
