Limits of a Download Server
for Large Downloads

Probing the maximum number of users without
deterioration of performance


 

In this test up to 100 users download a 32 MB file from the web server every 30 seconds. The web server is connected to the network with a GigaBit network card.

In the graph we can see that the download times per user are almost constant until about 50 users are active at the same time.

Conclusion

A maximum of 50 users can be active simultaneously until the server's and the network's limits are hit.

Test Results

Maximum Pageviews ~6.400 downloads pageviews per hour
Maximum Server Bandwidth ~480.000 kBit/s
