rough guess, but never hurts to check: could it be that IE6 on Win2000 does some funky DNS check that it gets stuck on? I would do a print statement on the server when it receives the request, maybe it receives the request after 14.5 seconds and the actual request only takes 0.5, then it would be DNS or some other routing issue that is going on.

Linux / Apache is fast to all clients. Spoke with Microsoft, we put a 1M file in a virtual directory on IIS. It downloaded in approx 1 second to Windows Pro / IE6. So they say "not our problem" talk to the Tomcat / mod_jk users. But, When I take IIS/mod_jk out of the picture, and go directly to Tomcat on 8080 the download is fast on the Windows Pro / IE6. I still think it's a MS issue anyone know why the download is slow between IIS 6 and Windows 2000 Pro / IE6 and fast to all other clients. Confounded. Any suggestions???? Thanks!!
