This has nothing to do with keepalive.your server should be ok as it is but the one geting the file should use a download-manager that can resume downloads in case you loose the connection. you should also create a md5 and verify the file once it is trancfered, you want to be sure your backup is working, don't you? you should also consider changing your backup-strategie, there should be an easier way to save a 4.25 gb file than to transfer it from canada to china, for example a dvd+r.

Now, I've got to get this file off my hard disk and into another computer so that when my computer fails, I still have the backup file. I am thinking about using Apache to serve the 5-gigabyte file (4.25 to be exact) to someone in China (I live in Canada). Is it possible? I think the transfer will take at least 3 hours to complete. I want to make sure that Apache doesn't give any timeouts or anything like that during this period. I have played with my httpd.conf file, and made several adjustments. For example, I adjusted KeepAlive On, MaxKeepAliveRequests 0, and:
<IfModule mpm_winnt.c> ThreadsPerChild 0 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> Is there anything else I should change or adjust? Any suggestions? Thanks!Post your free ad now! Yahoo! Canada Personals
