I used SimpleHTTPServer for a while, but I found it a bit sluggish at times. I replaced SimpleHTTPServer with http-server, and I've been very pleased with its performance: https://github.com/nodeapps/http-server https://github.com/nodeapps/http-server Not standard (or Python), but it's a quick install, and I find it just as usable and much faster.

If you have twisted installed (which is the case on stock OSX), you can use the twisted webserver, which is a lot faster than SimpleHTTPServer and supports concurrent multiple downloads & resumes. I use this alias: alias twisted_web='twistd -n web --path $PWD'
