Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Excessive load, probably corresponding to hung threads downloading big files

100% of these downloads fail (though I don't think there has been an attempt to leave the browser open for, say, hours). I followed Jeff's advice to do an strace of the thread and it appears to be mapping and unmapping memory continuously. There are only a few such files, so my workaround is to move them out of file storage and onto the file system and then serve them up relatively directly instead of through file-storage.
