After a busy week of migration of data from the lotus notes to the O365, we noticed that some of the users couldn’t able to download / upload a large file (>10MB) size. After a quick google, came across this post “SharePoint Downloads Interrupted For large Files” with a solution to it.

As mentioned in the blog, “netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled” did the trick. More details about it can be found here : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947239

Solution:

To disable the Receive Window Auto-Tuning feature for HTTP traffic, follow these steps:

  1. Log on to the computer as a user who has administrative credentials.
  2. Click Start, type runas /user: \administrator cmd in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
  3. When you are prompted for the administrator account password, type the correct password, and then press ENTER.
  4. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
    netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
  5. Exit the Command Prompt window.
  6. Restart the computer.
