Author Followup on files partially loading..

To expand upon my previous query, still having this problem...

Here's the setup:
6.0 mbps/600k DSL (6 megs down, 600 k upstream). 2 computers on
network: Dell PC, and Mac G4. Mac G4 is running apache.2.0.52.

Attempting to retrieve any large file (well over 65536 bytes), it
stalls and retries every 65536 bytes:



C:\>wget http://www.espphotography.com/buttplug.mp3
--16:24:50-- http://www.espphotography.com:80/buttplug.mp3
=> `buttplug.mp3'
Connecting to www.espphotography.com:80... connected!
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
Length: 1,642,160 [audio/mpeg]

0K -> .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... [ 3%]
50K -> .......... .... [ 3%]

16:24:51 (64.00 KB/s) - Connection closed at byte 65536. Retrying.

--16:24:51-- http://www.espphotography.com:80/buttplug.mp3
(try: 2) => `buttplug.mp3'
Connecting to www.espphotography.com:80... connected!
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 206 Partial Content
Length: 1,642,160 (1,576,624 to go) [audio/mpeg]

[ skipping 50K ]
50K -> ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,...... .......... .......... .......... [ 6%]
100K -> .......... .......... ........ [ 7%]

16:24:52 (64.00 KB/s) - Connection closed at byte 131072. Retrying.

--16:24:52-- http://www.espphotography.com:80/buttplug.mp3
(try: 3) => `buttplug.mp3'
Connecting to www.espphotography.com:80... connected!
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 206 Partial Content
Length: 1,642,160 (1,511,088 to go) [audio/mpeg]

[ skipping 100K ]
100K -> ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,.. .......... .......... [ 9%]
150K -> .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... [
12%]
200K -> [
12%]

16:24:54 (72.00 KB/s) - Connection closed at byte 204800. Retrying.
And so on.

Getting a file from the PC (running IIS, but that may change) is
fine.

Getting a file from the mac sitting at the PC (i.e.
http://192.168....) has similiar results - the retry size is a little
larger.

But from outisde the intranet, it's constantly 65536 bytes.

One suggestion I googled was to enable EnableSendFile Off - this made
no change.

Any suggestions appreciated. If I'm leaving out any details, please
ask.

Thanks.

This has nothing to do with your apache configuration. You're using wget.

Sorry, I should have explained better.The problem was brought to my
when people trying to download files from my website, and they'd stop
'halfway' through. I was perplexed, so finally in troubleshooting,
someone tried to wget the files, and that's when they noticed it was
stopping at 65536 bytes.

Try http://www.espphotography.com/bk1large.jpg (in your browser).
You'll notice it will stop about 65536 bytes into it.

Near as I can narrow down, it has something to do in apache.

Only way to confirm would be to install another web server on the mac
on a seperate port.. If anyone has a suggestion of a very small simple
easy to install web server, I'm open to suggestions.

Granted, it may not be apache, but that's the only thing I could think
of...
