Hi,
1.) What would cause nginx to randomly stop serving large file downloads? When I try to download a 800MB file it stops serving the file after between 10 and 30 MB. I've had to revert to lighttpd because of this.

I checked the usual things: There wasn't anything in the error log, the system had plenty of memory (several hundred MB free) and the worker processes were all still there after the download dies. It doesn't matter what browser I use.

Any idea what would cause this?



2.) BTW there's a bug in the forum.nginx.org forum where when you first get an account it prepopulates the login form with your email address rather than your user name. If you try to log in like that it won't let you in. You have to clear out what it prepopulated and enter your username. This is confusing.
