Ok, so what I discovered is the reason its fast with a dlm is because of the "allow_http_ranges " is enabled. If I disable this, the speed go dramatically down.
Now, if I link directly to the external file I want, the speed is 800k/s super fast.
If I stream an external link through ldlm the speed is slow and variable (50k-130k).
Why would streaming (force_redirect=0) a file through ldlm cause the speed to go down so much? Also, why would using http ranges make the speed faster (yet in some cases a tad unstable)?
Is there any way I can fix this? I use a shared server, perhaps tweaking the php.ini file? Does the speed of the server ldlm lives on limit the speed files are streamed through ldlm?
Please help me understand my situation so I can make a smart decision on how to make ldlm work.
Thanks again!
