242 MB file takes 3hours to download ?

Hi,
I switched to bt broadband around christmas and have had issues with the download speeds. Downloading is ok with the cable plugged in directly to my laptop, but when using only the wireless it is very slow. I have looked through some posts here but am none the wiser.
What do i need to do/check/change ?
download speed - 10.45
upload speed - 0.89
ping latency - 117.25
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

which router are you using?  wireless for downloading is not recommended for the reaons you describe.  have you tried a different channel?
you can try downloading inssider2.2 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.

  • I have Elements 8. I have bought A Nikon D750 and take Raw files. I have downloaded Raw 8.8 file converter, but cannot open Raw files

    I have Elements 8. Raw converter for my previous Nikon D300s worked ok. Now I have D750 cannot open Raw files. I have downloaded lastest Raw converter from Adobe 8.8
    Still cannot open Raw file. Get message "cannot open as it is wrong type of file" How do I get the latest Raw converter to work with Elements 8? Any info gratefully received.

    Are you saying you converted from NEF to DNG? If so, after you convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format, the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.8
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Uploading Firmware Ops Sys Adm - Error encountered: The file could not be downloaded

    Trying to upload the file using 8.6.2 of the CUCM Ops Sys Admin login.  I am using a remote SFTP.  I downloaded the firmware from the support section of the web.  File:  cmterm-7911_7906-sccp.8-5-2.cop.sgn
    The Install/upgrade process finds the file then says..  Accessing the upgrade file, please wait
    The Error Encounted: file could not be downloaded.  a
    There must be a log file somewhere.  Any ideas? 
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Well - in that case I would take the easy option :-)
    When you download the firmware, download the zip version. It may say 'for CUCM 4.x' or something similar.
    Basically unzip it, then upload each of the files in the zip to the TFTP server manually through OS admin and then restart TFTP from serviceability.
    Then you can apply it to a test phone and update the device defaults page when you are ready.
    That way you can try different versions of firmware without adding lots of non-removable references to cop.sgn files to the system's installed options list.

  • I have purchased Trainz Simulator, but it takes forever to download.

    Recently, I purchased Trainz Simulator, a train simulation game from the App Store. It's taken forever to download and I've become impatient with the game and I've canceled the download and would like a refund. I would understand if the game was big in file size, but really it shouldn't take days to download one game with a cable modem for an internet connection. I would like a refund for my purchase sent to my debit card that I used to make the purchase.

    Hi....
    Just so you are aware, you can not communicating directly with Apple here so they will not respond to your post.
    This is a user to user forum where Mac and Windows users help one another.
    Very important to read the terms and conditions before making purchases from the App Store. Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" here  TUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    No refunds.

  • IPad take FOREVER to charge and Apps take FOREVER to download. Am I the only one having this problem?

    I bought my iPad I'd say about a year ago and this problem has been happening the moment I bought it. I can have the iPad charging all night long and still it doesn't fully charge. I took it to the Apple store a little over a month after I bought it and they ran some tests on it and said everything was fine that maybe it was just the iPad charger so he gave me a new iPad charger but that didn't help whatsoever.
    The other problem I'm having is that when I download Apps on my iPad they seem to take years to download. This can't be my wifi as I have other Mac products and an iPhone that downloads App just fine within seconds.
    Is all of this an iPad issue other people are having? Or am I the only one cursed?

    You need to reopen that case file for your initial problem and get that resolved. That's the first thing.
    The second thing (the download times) can easily be checked out while you are at the Apple Store (as a test you do yourself). Find a couple of large apps (like maybe approaching 1 GB) in which you don't have any personal data in them, and delete them from your iPad. Then redownload them and see how long it takes at the Apple Store.
    If it's quick and normal at the Apple Store, then you've got so,e problem with the iPad working right with your home WiFi, and you'll have to sort that out. If it's just as slow at the Apple Store, then you can open up case file on that issue while you are still in the Apple Store.

  • Why does it take 15mins to download a 28min tv show? Come on apple, really???

    Why does it take 15mins to download a 28min tv show? Come on apple, really???

    Assume you and 'jasonfrompasorobles' are the same person?    Otherwise not sure where Winston has replied to you.  Where has he suggested you're in the wrong forum ? (common practice to tell people if they are as you're more likely to get an answer in the correct forum.)
    I refer you to Winston's first and only reply to jason... where he welcomed him to the forum - what is the download speed - measure it at speedtest.net on a computer.
    Netflix works completely differently - it works out your internet speed and reduces the quality of the stream (accordingly so starts much quicker on slower connections by degrading the quality with a lower bitrate stream.
    Apple's rentals are fixed sized files - HD 3-4GB, SD 1-1.5GB or thereabouts depending on film length - for fixed sized files with a given playback average bitrate/sec (Apple's tend to be up to 5 Mbps) if the connection speed is lower it is impossible to playback the movie instantly and continuously - it would stop and start all the time - so AppleTV calculates how much needs to buffer to allow the movie to be watched without stopping/starting - if your speed is very slow this could mean many hours for a HD title, and as TallBearNC suggests you can make some rough calculations to show why this happens.
    Other factors could be at play but the first thing to look at is always the average download speed on your internet  connection.

  • Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's"  after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

    Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's"  after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

    DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
    If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?

  • It says I've got 12,3 GB free space left, of my total 25GB. But my iPhone tells me there is no more space to take pictures or download stuff. It clearly says I have 12,3 GB left. What's the issue here??

    The issue is probably space on the phone, not in your iCloud account.  (Space in your iCloud account does not give you more space on your phone.)  Check Settings>General>Usage at the top to see how much available space you have.  If it's low, you'll have to delete or sync something off our phone to make room for more. 

  • HI, I just got a Macbook Pro.  It's great but my mail doesn't work at all.  It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages,  then won't delete them,  then won't save them to folders.  Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

    If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them.  800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly.  Hope this helps.

  • How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

    How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

    Icloud storage has nothing at all to do with the storage on your iphone.
    Icoud storage is on a server somwewhere, not on your iphone.

  • How do I re-enable showing the download files history in the download manager window?

    System: Windows XP
    I am trying to re-enable showing/retaining the list of downloaded files in the download manager window. I want to be able to drag and drop directly from that window into a folder of my choosing. (I used to be able to do this, but apparently I messed that up...)
    I have tried the suggestions that could easily be found, including setting Firefox to remember all history in the Privacy tab of Options.
    I also deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file to "reset" the browser defaults, but to no avail.
    Any ideas/help?
    Thanks.

    By the way, a few other things you probably know:
    (1) The setting to keep the downloads list displayed after a download is here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General
    Check "Show the Downloads window..." and ''uncheck'' "Close it..."
    (2) You can always show the list by pressing Ctrl+j
    The mimeTypes.rdf file isn't particularly relevant to this problem; it affects what application Firefox uses to open a particular type of file.
    However, there is a database file which stores your download history which might be corrupted. You could rename that file and have Firefox start building a new one.
    (1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
    Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    (2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
    (3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''downloads.sqlite''' to something else, like downloads.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
    (4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
    Any improvement?
