Sending a file using ASP - is this efficient?

I have a guy asking me about the speed of downloads from his web site. I use
ASP code to send the download to the user, and the code I use is basically
like this:

FileName = Request.Form("F ileName")
Path = Server.MapPath( FileName)
Set Upload = Server.CreateOb ject("Persits.U pload")
Upload.SendBina ry Path
Set Upload = Nothing

Is there anything that can be done to make this more efficient and to send
the file faster?

Thanks,
Stephen

Chances are the bottleneck is in communications, not the code. Try putting
the test file in the www area on your site and going directly to
http://yoursite/yourbinaryfile.ext to see if it's any faster. I've never
SendBinary'ed a file, but usually when people say things are slow, it's
because they're using dialup or something. I'm assuming that you're hosting
the site on a server at a real host and that the speed issue isn't caused by
them. If you're hosting this site at home on a cable modem or something,
that would be an issue.

My application requires sending a large piece (~2MB) of data to several devices on a network via TCP sockets. I have experimented with different methods for doing this and this has raised some questions about the implementation of Python sockets. (both methods use blocking sockets) Method 1: Calls socket.sendall(data) for each device in sequence, all in a single thread.

Hi. I'm developing a desktop application that needs to store some data in a local file. Let's say for example that I want to have an address book with names and phone numbers in a file. I would like to be able to retrieve the name by searching for a given phone number the fastest I can. I have considered the posibility of using XmlTextReader with something like: <list> <item number="1234567"> <name>John Doe</name>
