How do I increase download speeds?

psychobacter

I am using an arm VPS with 4 cores, 12 GB of RAM, and a 4Gbps connection. I am using nginx as a fileserver to serve large static files (a couple of GBs) but getting very slow download speeds. What changes should I make to increase download speeds?

I'm just guessing since its 4Gbps, its oracle.

It's located in the same country as I am, about 2000 km away.
