My settings under Windows XP, which enable all other services to function fast. Since running a server under Windows is not considered serious, there aren't any recommendations. The documentation mentions adjusting these settings under Linux only, which do not apply to me. I suspect it is a socket buffer issue, but I see no parameters in Lighttpd relating to this. I downgraded back, and speeds returned to the previous values, which are still not optimal, especially since SMB, which is sensitive to latency, is performing better.

I got minimum amount of modules loaded, and very basic configuration. The speed to the same Fast Ethernet host was 560 kB/s!! In attempt to fix the problem I decided to upgrade to the latest version (from WLMP package) 1.4.32.1. These computers are connected via a gigabit switch. Network Neighborhood is 8 MB/s and 60 MB/s. FileZilla speeds are 10 MB/s and 90 MB/s respectively. Version 1.4.19.1 (old) achieves about 4 MB/s to another host on LAN via Fast Ethernet, and 16 MB/s on LAN via Gigabit Ethernet, transferring a single file. This occurs on all connections: lighty is always slower relative to expected throughput.

The HTTP server is considerably slower than FileZilla Server, which is also running on the same machine and also Windows SMB network. I am running Lighttpd from the WLMP project on Windows XP for personal use.
