So I want to find the best optimal settings for serving large static files with Nginx. >=2GB

I read that "output_buffers" is the key.

Would also like to know if it should be defined per location {} that the static file is served from or across the entire server via http {} and any other settings that should be in place or left at defaults.

Also curious if any of this would even apply to us who use Nginx on Windows | http://nginx-win.ecsds.eu/


I did read a old email by Maxim Dounin here : http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx/2012-May/033761.html

Also mentions output_buffers should be increased but if it should be just per location or http and what correct value it should be increased to based of the size of the file you are serving is what I'd like to know :)
