How optimizing nginx for local large files download

Server NGINX
1

Hi,
I have some dell860 servers.2GB ram,20Gbits network bandwidth.
Twenty local large files(50M-2G) on the lighty server.
Nginx online-testing,the single server make use of bandwidth
400M~550Mbits now.
I wish optimizing nginx for bandwidth go up more than 1Gbits.
no-log,no-proxy,no-fcgi,only offer client soft download and patch
download.
How can do it resolve bandwidth low use?

                            T.kk

I would be looking more at the server then nginx, is the server running
out
of any resources at all?
If you only have 2gb of ram i would suggest you might be running out of
IO,
or depending on your netcard maybe soft interrupts

Are you sure your hard drives can keep up the pace?

try to bump worker_processes
and/or
disable sendfile and raise output_buffers

Why disable sendfile?
