Plex Geeks? I need a hardware setup for Plex.

[alphago]

Open the command line in that directory and do python3 -m http.server -p 8080

@alphago It's Windows 0S.

I have tried making the server.

Indexes are up.

But when I click on the file.

It doesn't start the download dialog box.

And, when I enter the URL into the IDM. It keeps on saying "Connecting".

What to do?

Also, How can I show the file-size and the creation date into the http server page?

This won't download in IDM, the python server doesn't support multithreading atm. Btw make a shared directory since you are sharing the files on LAN only, more comfortable and you will use your full LAN speeds.

@alphago I am able to download via. IDM. Question is, no matter I download via. Chrome or IDM. It takes 1-2 minutes to even show download box. How can I speed up and make it instant to show up the download box?

Secondly, I am using single thread of IDM only and I get 900-930mbps speed.

P.S.: I do have Mapped the Drive as Network Drive. But I only get 250Mbps download speed on that. Any idea why?

Use a real web server

The python webserver is slow to start the download cause it tries to buffer the file into memory and since it's serving the file from memory it shows a much higher throughput.

Have you benchmarked the disk in question to see what's the local max file transfer speed that you'd get?

@varkey HDD is WD Blue 1 TB.

Which webserver do you recommend?
