>Apache2 supports a method called “sendfile” to speedup serving data. Some NIC drivers also support offline checksumming. In some cases, this can lead to connection problems and invalid TCP checksums. In this cases, disable “sendfile” either by recompiling using configure option “--without-sendfile” or by using the "EnableSendfile off" directive in configuration file.</P
