However the Apache Web Server may well have better performance when serving large files, I don't believe I have seen any benchmarks dealing with large files only smaller ones that you typically see included in a web page like images. I would recommend at least doing some testing by serving your applet under Apache. Just out of curiosity what does your large applet do? From the sound of it it was like 60mb, which is quite a large applet to say the least... -- Jason Bainbridge http://kde.org - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal Site - http://jasonbainbridge.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
