Zena now supports “XSendFile” headers (faster downloads for clients and less time spent in zena processes).

To enable xsendfile on Use package from Caspar Clemens Mierau. Add these sources at the end of /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/damokles/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/damokles/ubuntu hardy main

Update sources list and install mod_xsendfile:

$ apt-get update
$ aptitude install libapache2-mod-xsendfile
$ a2enmod xsendfile

Add these lines at the end of the configuration settings for apache2 (file /etc/apache2/conf.d/zena) :

XSendFile on
XSendFileAllowAbove on

enable

Change the following line in /var/zena/current/config/zena.rb:

ENABLE_XSENDFILE = true
