One file on two servers for faster downloading

[arthur92710]

Ok i have a apache site on my pc and a web server for my web site.

I have around 2Mbps upload from my pc(port 80 is blocked so i use port 7000) but my site downloads files at a max of 200kbps. Can i put this file on my faster web server and then have both my pc and my web server have the same file. so when people download it from my pc it will come from both my pc and my web server.

No. Your speed difference is probably ADSL.

ADSL? i have cable.

Downloading different segments of a file from multiple servers requires the users to have a specialized program that is designed to handle that. Here's one. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DownThemAll%21)

ADSL? i have cable.That can be unbalanced as well but did you get your up/down numbers from some tests on a site like broadbandreports.com?

I may have misinterpreted your requirement. I thought you were looking for a generalized site performance enhancer but it seems you're looking more at single file upload/download. Cool stuff there Kravvitz.
