Download accelerator for OSX10.4.1 ??

Need to download files a lot faster from internet as it is taking forever. Found Speed Download for Mac but then saw it was for system OS X 10.4.6 or later, which presumably won't work.
As I have OS X 10.4.1 is there a good download that you know about? Preferably freeware, but anything that will speed things up as I'm trying to download Quicktime and it says 4.5 hours !!!! I would have thought all these things would already be loaded on when I bought eMac, but obviously not.
So any recommended download accelerators that are compatible with my system would be appreciated.
Thanks.
eMac   Mac OS X (10.4)  

Lobelia,
You can use Speed Download 3.0.20 found here:
http://www.yazsoft.com/files/sd3020.zip
Version 3.0.20 of Speed Download is optimized for the version of Mac OS X that you are currently running. (Mac OS X 10.4.1)
Note: you can update to Mac OS X 10.4.6 for free. Simply download the update from the Apple Support site here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1046comboforppc.html
(you can use Speed Download 3.0.20 to download it since it supports auto-resuming should something go wrong with your connection)
Or run the 'Software Update' from under the Apple menu in your Finder.

    The download is available, but it isn't easy to find.
    The "Sun Download Center Changes" page also refers to you to the Sun Archive (My Oracle Support Doc 1302856.1). Follow that link and you see a list of products you can download, including Sun Studio 11 (unaccountably listed under Servers and Storage Systems). That link takes you here

  • Powerpill - A wrapper and download accelerator for Pacman

    I've moved all the powerpill info to this page: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/info/powerpill
    Please continue to use this thread for discussion about powerpill.

    The 404 errors are probably from mirrors that are out of sync with your top mirror (the one that pacman loads the database from).  Some mirrors won't yet have the latest packages yet. They should still get downloaded from another mirror though, because the metalink itself contains the mirror that was used to sync the database. If you notice that certain mirrors always throw 404 errors, you might consider removing them from your list (it's an indication that they don't update often enough). Also, take a look at "reflector" linked in my sig.
    Actually, I just checked http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html and holmes.umflint.edu hasn't synced in 16 days, so I think you can remove that one from your list for now.
    I'd need to know what command you invoked powerpill with to get that pacman error ("powerpill -S" perhaps.... which leads to the same error as "pacman -S"). During a normal sync operation, powerpill invokes pacman 3 times:
         First with the pacman arguments that you passed it, adding the argument to print the package URIs.
         Once with -Ss to build a package-to-repo hash.
         Finally with the original arguments to pass control to pacman for installation.
    Of course, there are sanity checks on which arguments were passed. If the requested operation does not involve downloading, control is passed to pacman immediately. If the requested operation included the "download only" option, it exits instead of calling pacman once downloads are complete. Powerpill doesn't play pacman-babysitter though, so it doesn't catch invalid pacman operations (although it does strip out any powerpill-specific arguments).
    Aria is always invoked once and only once if the operation involves downloading, regardless of the number or size of the files.
    Powerpill passes the pacman arguments it receives to powerpill along with the argument to print the URIs for the requested operation. Powerpill then takes this list, which contains the URIs to the files on your top mirror, and parses them to create a list of the pkgs that it should download. It then grabs the other mirrors for each repo from the pacman configuration files and builds a list of URIs to each requested packages on the different mirrors. These lists are used to create a single metalink for all the packages which is then piped to aria2c. This is done regardless of the number of files or their sizes. The single metalink makes it possible to download multiple files simultaneously and large files in segments. The metalink file itself contains information to determine how many connections to use for each file, so smaller files are not segmented. Even if there is only one small file to download, it is still just as fast as wget or curl or any other downloading utility.
    When downloading files in the metalink, the list of URIs to the package on different mirrors is available for all packages, regardless of the connection limit per file. Aria2c chooses a mirror from the list and tries to download the package. 404 errors will occur if that mirror doesn't get have the latest version of the package. In that case, aria2c will just use another URI from the list until it gets the file. Each list will contain a URI to the file on the mirror that pacman used to sync the database, so that file will get downloaded from there if none of the other mirrors have the package yet.
    Take a look at the metalink file generated for different operations.
    powerpill -S <pkgA> <pkgB> <groupX> --get-metalink -
    The "resources" tags contain the "maxconnections" attribute. You can confirm that small files are limited to 1.
    My current version control system consists of leaving older versions in a directory on that server. Because of powerpill's "simple script" origin, I haven't given much thought to anything more serious, although I'll consider it. Thank you for your offer.

  • Can't open cs6 programs they crash since I was instructed to download java for osx10.10.2

    My photoshop cs6 crashes.

    You shouldn't need java for photoshop cs6 to work on mac os x 10.10.2
    (some of the other cs6 creative suite applications like illustrator do though i believe)
    This is the java you would need
    https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US
    Can you post the crash report for photoshop cs6?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Speed Download is a popular utility, though keep the uninstall directions handy if you find you have a version that doesn't work with your software update:
    http://www.yazsoft.com/sd/content/supportpages/uninstall.html
    There have been times the software has had to be updated after a systemwide software update.
    There is also a Downloads window in the Window menu of Safari, and in most other web browsers as well where you can control downloads you make off the internet.

  • Where can I find a download accelerator?

    Okay. I am new to apple so if I ask a stupid questions don't laugh. Anyways I really need a download accelerator. I live in Alaska about 100 miles away from a good internet connection. When using my old microsoft comp. I added the program Download Accelerator Plus to help with my connection problem. This worked great. I have looked for something equivilent for my safari browser and I am not finding it. DAP has a mac version but I am also lost on how I can even install it. It sent me a text file and I have no clue what to do with it. Does anybody have any suggestions on a different download accelerator or help me with installing the DAP exstention? Current situation is without the download accelerator it takes at least an hour for most of my downloads. This is not a big problem except that if it is not downloaded soon enough connection is lost and I have to restart the download process.  PLEASE HELP!! I have no way to get any better interenet connection. Trust me I keep checking.

    The version at http://www.speedbit.com/mac/ is 9 years old & won't run on Mavericks. Is there some other that you're trying ?.
    There might be something of use at Comparison of download managers
    or
    Download Managers: Mac OS X
    In any case, be very wary, & make proper backups before trying any, so that you can reinstall if necessary.

  • Problems Downloading Quicktime For Windows

    I have made numerous attempts over the past few weeks to download QuickTime for Windows XP. Each attempt results in the following:
    I end up at a page that says "Your download will start automatically" and "Thankyou for downloading QuickTime."
    Of course,the download never starts. I've tried downloading using Mozilla Firefox as well as IE7, both the latest versions with all patches applied. Javascript is turned on in IE7.
    Even after waiting a few hours, nothing gets downloaded, or even starts to download.

    As I have a DSL connection, I am not using any acceleration software, at least not on my own Pc. Perhaps my service provider is, but I have no control over that.
    As to pop-up blockers, I turned them off in both IE7 and Mozilla 2.0.0.3, all to no avail. My software firewall is setup to always advise me of anything that it is attempting to block, and no messages have appeared on my screen.
    I've tried downloading Quicktime on three different computers, two at one location, the third two miles away from the other two Pc's.
    So far, I have had no success.
    Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

  • Download accelerator woes

    I downloaded Download Accelerator Plus a while ago. Seeing as it was just a demo, I uninstalled it. Now when i'm using Camino (or any browser for that matter) if i try to download from certain sources such as mac software sites, mirrors or download.com, i get a message saying
    "DapPlugin is unable to find download accelerator plus application. please make sure to launch DAP to complete installation.
    i deleted some things related to DAP but that may have made it worse. This is driving me crazy. There doesnt seem to be a plugin manager or a setting that cancels use of download accelerators. How can i get rid of this message and start downloading again? Thanks

    I think the uninstaller was busted, as when i opened it it quickly closed and did nothing. i did however find dapPlugin in the library folder, and deleted it, solving my problem. Thanks!

  • Finaly. How to enable hardware acceleration for X-

    After much discussion on this form and with my friends, I've finally cracked hardware acceleration for X-FI on Vista. It works by using Alchemy on a large scale and gives acceleration for everything you listen to. The breakthrough finally came through thanx to help and info I received from alexs3ds on this thread?http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=645?It started as an emulation concept discussion and evolved in to this. It gives all your 3D audio effects and EAX in games without game by game transmutation and I have noticed a large quality and volume enhancement in normal music and film audio because even that is now accelerated. Here's a step by step guide on how to do it.[color="#ff0033">?[color="#3366ff">Download Alchemy and install. Get it here .[color="#3366ff">http://preview.creativelabs.com/alchemy/default.aspx[color="#3366ff">?[color="#3366ff">Open a?window in explorer and go to [color="#3333ff">Windows\System32.[color="#3366ff">?[color="#3366ff">Locate the file dsound.dll and right click on it then select properties.[color="#3366ff">?[color="#3366ff">Click the security tab then click advanced.[color="#3366ff">?[color="#3366ff">In the advanced security panel?that opens up, click the owner tab then edit.[color="#3366ff">?[color="#3366ff">Use this to set your user account name as owner.

Reboot your computer and you are now using hardware accelerated sound. ?[color="#ff0033">IMPORTANT NOTES YOU MUST KNOW[color="#ff0033">?This only supports 6-Bit samples. You can't use 24-Bit audio samples. You can however reverse the process and regain support. The Alchemy drivers can cause a bit of choppy sound now and then if you don't configure them right. See the Alchemy advanced FAQ for info. Plus, remember they are Beta. You can however update your system as and when alchemy updates. It's not known if every game will work with EAX or 3Dsound with this. To my knowledge?all, if not?most do.You can still edit and add game settings to the dsound.ini file. For help and info in getting the best quality out of your X-FI and a list of what XP software you can install off your driver disk that came with your card refer to this thread. http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=6029?Enjoy. Edit:- IMPORTANT UPDATE?This will only work if your card is set in game mode. It will not work properly in any other mode. See my post further down this thread for more details.Also important is that I have only been able to test this on Vista 32 ultimate. It is untested in any other version of Vista. Perhaps people who have it running on other versions of Vista could post this info and help put together a list. ?

    It does work, however I discovered more?important conditions. You MUST have your audio card in game mode BEFORE you do this. The reason is that the alchemy file passes the audio to OpenAL in game mode only. IF YOU TRY TO RUN GAMES IN ANY OTHER MODE YOUR SYSTEM WILL CRASH WITH BSD. IF YOU TRY TO RUN MEDIA PLAYER IT WILL HANG. IF YOU RUN DIRECTX DIAGNOSTIC YOUR SYSTEM WILL CRASH WITH BSD. YOUR?CARD MUST BE IN GAME MODE. IF YOU TRY TO CHANGE TO GAME MODE AFTER THE SWITCH, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AS THE AUDIO PANEL WON'T LOAD. DO IT BEFORE YOU SWITCH. As for windows replacing files after reboot, that aint happening to me. I've looked everywhere and can't find any sign of?were replacement files would come form either. Not that I'm saying it isn't happening, Vista is supposed to have a security system that stops you from replacing core system files. It just ain't happening in my system. However, I do have various system hacks in place and one of them may be stopping this. Need to look in to this. Fact:- I'm sitting with this in system now ( got no intentions of going back cause the audio's great ). I've tested 0 up-to date games and all give EAX etc. Without transmutation. Audio sounds amazing compared to what it was before and video audio finely plays in sync ( hurray). Maybay I should add a warning to this mod that you must only try it if you know what you are?doing.BTW in case this has anything to do with it, my system is :-
    Asus?am2 with nforce 4, amd am2 x2 dual core cpu, 2 gig dual channel ddr2 800, oem?SB X-FI and Vista 32 ultimate.

  • HTTP Download Accelerator in java

    i need to write download accelerator which transfers files over the
    Internet using multiple data transfer channels simultaneously. can anybody could help me about this?

    You mean from multiple sources?
    So your computer is going to download something from 15 servers for example?
    So
    1. Find a standard that defines this.
    2. Search for a java API that implements it.
    3. If 2 doesn't exist then implement it yourself.
    Note that you should not attempt the above if you do not already understand how java sockets and threads work.

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me where I can download the BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT 2013 ?
    The latest I can see on my MSDN sub is 2009 and everything else on the Web in relation to 2013 is help documentation.
    Kind regards,
    John.

    Hi John,
    The accelerators are on the BizTalk media, physical or virtual. If you have a DVD or ISO mount it and look for the Accelerators folder.

  • Can I safely move to Trash all downloaded files from Downloads folder, for the purpose of freeing up storage space?

    My Downloads folder has reached 30GB. I am not sure why I keep adding files without ever cleaning up what's there. As a matter of fact, what's there can easily be re-downloaded from the web in case of need.
    Can I safely trash 100% of the content of my Downloads Folder?

    They're your files, so it's up to you whether to delete them or not. I personally don't tend to keep downloads if they are easily re-downloaded. (An exception might be a large download that for some reason may need to be reinstalled.)
