Is there a setting with nginx that could be restricting or limiting the download speed of my users? My users are getting around 300kb/s If I use a download accelerator and download a file simultaneously I max out my internet at 1.2 mb/s. My conclusion is that somehow nginx is restricting my download speed. My site does not get heavy traffic, so I don't know why I'm getting such slow speed.
Any ideas what could cause the slow downloads?
