Specifying the Size of the File Buffer 

Use

Set up the size of the buffer used when downloading or uploading static files using HTTP. Data from the input stream is written to the buffer, and it is flushed to the output stream if the buffer gets filled, or if the whole amount of data is being written to it.

We recommend that you increase the file buffer size when transferring large files, so that fewer sets of data are transmitted. This way you achieve better performance. However, larger buffer size increases memory usage.

Procedure

You can use the Visual Administrator tool to set the size of the HTTP Provider Service file buffer. You must edit the FileBufferSize property of the HTTP Provider Service running on server process. Proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Open the Properties tab of the HTTP Provider Service running on server process.

       2.      Enter the value of the FileBufferSize property. The size is specified in bytes.

The minimum value you can set this property to is 2048 bytes. Any other value below this limit is disregarded, and the size of the file buffer is automatically set to the minimum value.

       3.      Choose Update to add it to the list of properties.

       4.      Choose  (Save Properties).
