Is that MISS/20 or HIT/206. Big difference.

Also whether the object(s) are cacheable at all also makes a big
difference. No use fetching all that unwanted bytes if the object is
just going to be thrown away.

range_offset_limit none with quick_abort* settings to allow the objects
to finish downloading after the clients are done is how you get the
object to be 200 from the server, and fully available for storage -
assumign it can be cached.


That only works if the 206 are for the same objects repeatedly.

If they are for parts of different objects all the time or the objects
are not cacheable, then dont worry. 206 is the most efficient form of
transfer for that type of traffic.
