Hi, all.

I am a newbie. I am using nginx for Windows to host static big files. I
find out a strange problem. When Windows client downloads files from nginx
for Windows server, the download rate is very very slow. The files are
bigger than 200MB.

Network: 100Mbps LAN

Server SIde: Windows XP 32bit, nginx for Windows, I test 1.0.15, 1.2.4 and
1.3.7. They are the same.

Windows Client Side: WIndows XP 32bit, Firefox, IE, Chrome and curl are the
same. The download rate is not more than 300KB/s

Linux Client Side: Linux, Fedora 17 x86_64 and Ubuntu, Firefox and Chrome
and curl are the same. The download rate are more than 8MB/s. Almost
10MB/s.

The same network 100Mbps LAN

Server Side: Fedora 17 x86_64, nginx 1.0.15

Windows Client Side: WIndows XP 32bit, Firefox, IE, Chrome and curl are the
same. The download rate is more than 8MB/s. Almost 10MB/s

Linux Client Side: Linux, Fedora 17 x86_64 and Ubuntu, Firefox and Chrome
and curl are the same. The download rate are more than 8MB/s. Almost
10MB/s.

It looks quite strange. I just use the default configure file for nginx and
put the files into nginx root directory. I do not change anything. I
checked HTTP Header. I try to change Firefox user-agent on Windows to Linux
edition. It could not change download rate, still very very slow.  I try to
use Apache on Windows to host the files. The download rate is normal, about
8~10MB/s.

How could I debug the problem? Which logs and configure files should I
provide? If you have some good advices, Please tell me soon.

Thank you
