I've been quite the happy XAMPP user for about seven or so years now, and I recommend it to pretty much anyone who even remotely thinks about getting into web development.
And for years I've just had a standard cable connection, and I was always able to easily saturate the small 1-4mbps upspeed that I've had.
Late last year I've gotten a 35/35 fiber line and noticed that this Windows machine can barely upload at all, I tend to just shove files onto a Linux machine before sending things to people, since the other machines have nearly no limitations on it's upload. And judging from the use of torrents, or speedtest ( http://www.speedtest.net/result/1328102468.png ) it's only apache that's suffering from slow upstream.
Notice that the IPs are the same, Both are real machines not VMs, and both are using Apache
The windows machine is significantly slower than the Linux machine is, the XAMPP setup is pretty much stock when it comes to the apache setup. And a stock setup gives the same results anyways.
XAMPP is running under Win7 64bit, with a quad3.0ghz and 8GB of ram, the server is significantly faster than the other Linux machine
I've tried googling for any information regarding slow upload speeds for apache/windows, but the majority of things are for Win2003 issues, and ignorant people with slow upstreams on their connections.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of anything specific that might help resolve this issue, I've done things like tweaking various network settings and the such.
