The latest stable version of Nginx, 1.0.2, was released at nginx.org.
nginx [engine x] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, as well as a mail proxy server written by Igor Sysoev.
Nginx delivers static content quickly and efficiently, without bogging down system resources. Nginx uses an asynchronous event-driven approach to handle requests.
This provides predictable performance under load, as compared to the Apache HTTP server model, which uses a threaded or process-oriented approach to handling requests.
