Using XAMPP I am sharing files over my local network using Apache.

To expose a directory I have added the following to my conf\httpd.conf file. This works, but I am only getting 550 KB/s (4.4 Mb/s) throughput. This is slower than I can download from the internet. How do I configure the server so that I can get closer to the theoretical maximum of throughput 65 Mbps.

(I’m aware that I wont the full 65 Mbps, but I’d like to be getting 50 not 4.4 which is unacceptable)

<Directory "D:\MySharingDirectory">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<IfModule alias_module>
Alias /MySharingDirectory "D:\MySharingDirectory"
</IfModule alias_module

>

Can some one please help me configure the Apache server to file share over HTTP more efficiently?

    There is no default bandwidth limit in Apache. So the bandwidth issue could be located anywhere between your download tool and Apache. Try initiating the download on the server itself, thus eliminating the network.
