Best way to serve static files (?)

[kiladila]

Hello, want to ask advice, how to best serve static file.
For example i have directory /files/ with a lot of static files (from 1M to 2G), users can download these files with link given in site.

So question is how to serve these files? maybe there are some configuration trick or something?

I'm asking because currently we facing pretty high I/O

install 4.1 in parallel with 4.0.20, enable AIO, may improve I/O a lot.

admin console->Server->Tuning->Use Asynchronized disk I/O (AIO):Yes

Thanks for reply but i'm not very sure i understant "in parallel", is there are some tutorials how to do that, or you mean simple install 4.1?

sorry, simple install 4.1. in litespeed's case, new version won't override older versions, and can switch between them by one button click. so I say "in parallel" but caused confusion.
