The method of some embodiments receives a file from a server. The method is implemented at a client machine. The method creates a page fragment cache, including multiple page fragments, for receiving file data from the server. The method allocates page fragments from the page fragment cache to a dedicated receiving (RX) ring. The method sends a request file packet over a TCP connection to the server. The method receives multiple data packets, each data packet including a header and file data. The method stores the file data for the multiple data packets sequentially in the page fragment cache.
