Download times are nuts

I have been downloading movies etc form I tunes for some time, 30 - 40 Mins. Today i have been trying to downlaod
a move from i Tunes and now it says 90 hours plus (4 days) for one movie ???????
Called ISP , speed test good 50 mg down 3.5 mg up, router computer all Ok .
at this time it points to I tunes downloads is any one else haveing this problem.
Thanks

Was the connection tested via speedtest.net or by your ISP?
Did you check for network interference (use netstumbler or similiar to verify)
Is your DNS set correctly? (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

Is there anything I can do to speed up iWeb download times?

I was wondering if I could ask the forum a couple of questions. (I have had a look through previous posts but wasn't able to find the answers I need. Apologies if my questions have been answered before).
I bought iWeb a few days ago and website building is virgin territory for me. Over the weekend I put together a site. This is albeit a skeleton site, but the final site will be pretty much the same, only with more picture and text content.
The site is primarily about displaying photographs to picture editors (etc) so fastish download times are important for me . On my G5 (with reasonable broadband), and after emptying the cache, the site opens very slowly. (Page opening times range from 5 seconds to 10 seconds). This is unfortunately far too slow for my needs.
I have tried to speed up the download times by a variety of means:
(1) Reducing the file size to 30kb jpeg files in ImageReady using 'save for web'
(2) Using the 'original size' facility in inspector.
Nothing seems to be increasing the download times to acceptable speeds.
Does anyone know what I can do, if anything?
Please check out this skeleton site at:

Any help or feedback with this would be very much appreciated.

Hi Greg,
Went to your web site. Page loading time wasn't too bad here, but I'm a photographer also and am sympathetic to your need for speed.
Here's what I found and my current ideas for speeding up page loading speed.
I grabbed two of your images and found that they were 450k png files, not 30k as mentioned plus the images, in my opinion, are soft and could be sharper.
Some iWeb observations re: Photo Pages and Image Optimization Workflow
Dropping hirez files into iWeb it will automatically "Fit Image" to 800x800px with a jpeg compression of 10.
Watching users open my web pages I've noticed and feel:
a) Alot of these folks are PC users and their display resolutions are not set as high as we use editing photos.
b). Because of this, images over 500px high cripples some users from seeing the bottom of a page and controls that may be there.
c) My current workflow includes using "Fit Image" to Width 700px and Heigth 500px.
Following are Custom and Batch Image Processing Workflows
These will work with Raw, Tif or Jpg images and will assume that you have reasonably worked up your images applying your own voodoo.
Custom Image Processing Workflow. (using smallest file, quick version)
1. Load images into Bridge
2. Edit and manually sort images into the order you want.
3. Renumber images with (sequence)(-)(Filename)
4. Use Tools->Photoshop->Image Processor
Save the files as sRGB Tiff and Fit Image H500px by 700px
5. Open images in Photoshop
6. Apply your custom image image corrections to each image
7. Sharpen the images
8. Save for Web using jpeg with medium compression.
9. Images are now ready for web use.
Using this process a couple of times you will come away with a feel for the Custom image correction and amount of sharpening and compression works best for your images.
Now you are ready to start batching images.
First create a bunch of commonly used action.
I have a "Sharpen" folder containing actions named:
30 SmartSharp
40 SmartSharp
50 SmartSharp
60 SmartSharp
etc.
Also, I have a Convert to Profile folder of actions
A Color Correct folder of actions that calls on some of my favorite nik Color Efex filters and presets.
And a "Save As" folder of actions containing
Save4Web high
Save4Web medium
--Don't let me lose you here becase here comes the good part
Create a folder of "Combined Actions" and create some useful combinations.
Example: "sRGB 50Sharp WebMedium" that calls on three of the actions previously created Convert to Profile, SmartSharpen and Save As
Now you are ready for:
Batch Image Processing Workflow
1. Load images into Bridge
2. Edit and manually sort images into the order you want.
3. Renumber images with (sequence)(-)(Filename)
4. Use Tools->Photoshop->Image Processor
Save the files as sRGB Tiff and Fit Image H500px by 700px
but this time use: Apply Action "sRGB 50Sharp WebMedium"
5. Images are now ready for web use.
Respectfully submitted,
Junebug Clark

Ios4 download times

Is anyone able to get the update in a reasonable time? Since about 6 PM EST, I've tried to get the update. Download times are ranging from 5-9 hours, I keep cancelling thinking it'll get quicker. Chime in and let know.

My iPhone is just about on its 8th hour of downloading. My phone backup will probably be another 30 minutes. I'm hoping that after this everything will be smooth sailing, but there's a storm coming our way so hopefully the power wont go out and all the data will be lost. I have been waiting too long for this!

Sudden slow download time

Helloooo,
My ATV has always downloaded nearly instantaneously, even HD movies...5 minutes MAX from order to watch.
In August, I upgraded my internet to Comcast business class, I believe it's at 11mbps, but I consistently test out (www.whatismyip.com) around 10mbps (but as high as 20). My ATV has no wireless network connection. Download times decreased even beyond what I'd previously been experiencing.
Now, with no changes internally to my network, TV shows that previously were immediately available are now taking 20+ minutes to download...movies...forget about spontaneous movie watching, we're now looking at a few hours to make popcorn.
I have to say, too, that increased download times are not limited to my ATV; my MBP also experiences long delays.
I contacted Apple, thinking it might be an issue with the recent firmware upgrade to ATV, but that wouldn't explain the slower MBP. I just wonder if anyone might have suggestions...might be able to point me in the right direction to troubleshoot.
Many thanks,
Melissa

Given what you say about experiencing slow download times for all your devices I'd be contacting your ISP. It isn't unknown for ISP's to filter traffic at certain times of the day, indeed it seems to be becoming more common with certain ISP's.

Flash Player Download times

Has anyone else encountered prohibitive flash player download
times? I've tried to dowload the player (9.0.28.0
IE/Firefox/Netscape/Opera) from Adobe's website six times in the
last three days, on an otherwise stable 5MB broadband cable
connection, on three different PC's. My current attempt ran
overnight and seems to be stalled at 96%.

Every time I try to download the flash player for the last
several months, the download times are prohibitive. You'd think
Adobe could have a robust enough hosting solution for one of the
most downloaded products on the Internet. Perhaps they've heard of
mirrors?

SLOW download on Airport Extreme wifi. WireThe download speeds are next to nothing above 25 feet away. When i stand next to the AEB it is fine. Anyone know why? Doubt ill get another AEB, very unreliable and has been for some time.

SLOW download on Airport Extreme wifi. Wired is great. The download speeds are next to nothing above 25 feet away. When i stand next to the AEB it is fine. Anyone know why? Doubt ill get another AEB, very unreliable and has been for some time.

No cordless phone (two iPhones and two iPads though). It does have one or two walls on line of sight. A few wireless door security zones. And a large china cabinet that my wife sure wouldn't let me move. Do any of these sound significant enough to drop the dowload from 30Gb to .1GB...while upload stays consistent. I have had better signal strength through two walls 100 feet out from my house, havent tried recently though. I am suddenly aware as my switch is acting up and i had to use wifi on my xbox.

Time capsule download speeds are slow

iMac <======>Time capsule (bridge mode) <=====> 10/100 ethernet switch <====> Comcast router/modem Arris TG862
Multiple iDevices are wirelessly connected to Time capsule because Arris TG862 couldn't handle more than 10 wireless devices without kicking them off.
Time capsule is in bridge mode, 4th gen, 7.6.4.
Have been running this configuration for over a year and download speeds @ 50Mbs for the iMac that is wired to the time capsule and an iMac that is wirelessly connected to time capsule. AppeTV is hardwired to 10/100 ethernet switch as well, and has never had a problem before download / streaming movies.
In the past week, the wired download speed of the iMac has crawled down to 5-6 Mbs. Wireless connections are .5-1 Mbs.
I have unplugged all devices, waited 10 mins, plugged in router/modem, waited 5 mins, plugged in switch, waited 1 min, plugged in TC, waited 5 mins, ran a test on Speedtest.net - still getting 5 Mbs wired and slower on wifi. If I unplug the ethernet cable from the TC (WAN) and plug it into the iMac directly, I get 57 Mbs download speed on Speedtest.net. Why would the TC suddenly be slowing down download speeds. In all configurations, the upload speed is still 10-11 Mbs. It appears that only download speeds are affected. Any suggestions?

Yes, I've tried moving the ethernet cable from the iMac to a different LAN port on the TC. Same slow speed. The wireless download speeds are slow too, seems like the WAN connection is "throttling" download speeds no matter if it's wired or wireless.
I have pressed the reset button on the back of the TC until the front light blinks amber. Then I went thru the setup to have it connected Ethernet, Bridge mode, create a wireless network, and DHCP from the router. I got 12 Mbs download speed for the wired connection after doing this the first time. Fifteen minutes later I tested it again using Speedtest.net and the download speed for the wired connection had fallen to 5 Mbs. I unplugged the TC, waited a half hour, held the reset button down while I plugged it in, went thru the setup again, and still had a download speed of only 4 Mbs when I was done.
I assumed if the switch on the TC went bad that it wouldn't work at all, not just be slow.
Any other suggestions?

Movie transfer time compared tp download time

i bought a movie on another computer (because mine didnt have the internet hooked up yet) and it took almost 13 hours to download and then quite a while for it to be put on my ipod, but then when i hooked up my ipod to my computer to transfer it to my computer it took less than a minute for the whole thing to be copied on to my computer. but if i can transfer it from my ipod to another computer in such a small ammount of time then why does it take so long for it to download from itunes??
oh and does anyone know why there are no movies or tv shows in the other countries itunes stores?

Download and sync/transfer times are dependent on many factors. Download time depends on you connection speed, general network congestion, and file size.
Transfer time is also dependent on connection type. USB1, USB2, and where files are stored.
With my setup I have my files on a network drive that I usually connect to over wireless for syncing. This takes longer than when I go down and plug the laptop in with an ethernet cable to the router. The whole setup is slower that it could be because of the network storage but I like the backup abilities of the network storage.

TS3623 APPLE TV download times suddenly became 3-4 evn 12 hrs for a movie?

What happened 3 months ago ? APTV was working fine then download times suddenly became 3-4 evn 12 hrs for a movie?!! Movies that I purchased that are in their cloud take a similar time to download. Not a problem with my internet provider or my router as both tested fine. Apple Genius Bar has suggested a reset of the device which made zero difference. Any suggestions out there?
<Re-Titled By Host>

I have had my provider in to test my signal strength. My router shows full bars as well.

All my recent downloaded programs are in Chinese. Is there a setting in Firefox that I can undo this problem? I'm using English GB.

Hi B.
First of all, and although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment as been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com].
As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Control JNLP jar files download time

Hello,
I have a JNLP application which will run over internet , my problem is that anyone can go to the url and launch the application and download all the jars, before even logging in, i'm worried about using this for Denial of service.
is there a way that i can control the jar files download time, like only download the necessary jar first and when jars are needed will be downloaded eventually
Any Help would be appreciaetd
regards

Web start offers lazy downloads, as well as the DownloadService* (DS) to help with this kind of problem.
'Lazy' means the resource is only downloaded when needed, but using the DS offers even greater control, even to the extent of manually blocking a download - if needed.
* e.g. of the Download service, be sure to follow the links.
<http://www.physci.org/jws/#ds>
As far as 'signing' goes, I cannot imagine how that would help for your problem. Not only are signed Jar's (at least slightly) larger, but they can also be used by JWS apps. coming from other domains! If your app. is sandboxed, I strongly recommend keeping it as unsigned code.
Why is your JNLP file exposed to the general public? Don't the users have to log in before they can get to the page with link to the application JNLP?
If that is the case, the only chance for users who are not logged in to launch it, is if a friend sends them a direct link to the JNLP file.
As an aside, I generally do not have time to look at posts with no 'dukes' assigned (see links at upper left), if getting a solution is important to you, it is a good idea to add some.

Download time

I just purchased an ipad3 to replace my defective nook color (touch screen problem on the 15 month old unit). I cannot understand why the download time of my magazine subcriptions from Barnes and Noble are taking 3-6x longer that to my nook color. Btw, I am based oversears. For example, I download issues of Readers Digest in 20-30 minutes, but with the ipad3 it takes 2 hours minimum. Car and Driver magazine from 30 minutes to nook...in ipad 3hours have past and only 70% done. If the file size of magazines for ipad3 bigger than that for nook color? The download time is getting to be irritating. And I thought that getting an ipad3 would be moving up in device performance.
Internet speed in my area is respectable. Browsing is normal for the ipad3.
Thanks.

Hi. In April this year I shifted from NC (touch screen failure only after 15 months of moderate use) to Ipad 3, Initially the download times of my magazines from my nook account was taking at least an hour. Some bloggers suspected that BN was probably cutting down the download speed since the download was not to their own device. Any after only a week or two, downloads of my mags, NG...Car and Driver, etc have gone down to 5 to 10 minute, good enough for my connection speed. To answer your question, I was able to successfully download to my Ipad 3 all my mag subscriptions that were previously stored in my NC. When I registered my new device with BN I suppose that their system automatically will erase all stored items in my old nook, though i never had the chance to check this out since my NC does not function anymore. Once the new device is registered with BN you will notice that all your subscriptions will appear in the "archived" section. All you have to do is download them one by one to your new device.
My understanding is that suppose that your NC is stolen, the user will initially enjoy all the contants bought from BN. What you do is archive all the books, mags, etc sourced from BN. The one using your NC will suddenly discover that all the contents sourced from BN will disappear. However, your personally installed music, videos, pdf will remain in the stolen NC. Hope this helps.

Mobile itemisation - times are incorrect

A new month a new problem - and it's another one which clearly shows that there was little or no testing before the software was released.
Just got my latest mobile bill to download and headed for the option to grab the itemisation as a csv file. Lots of stuff in there that I'm not too sure I needed to know, but it's not difficult to ignore columns that might be wanted by other folk.
The big trouble is that the itemisation call times are riddled with errors - loads of calls and texts in the middle of the night! Digging around with the csv file and comparing it to the pdf bill copy, i discover that all afternoon & evening calls have been time shifted back 12 hours. A bit more sorting shows calls and texts only display as from 01:00 to 12:59. Looks to me as if they have taken data that was formatted in AM / PM style and then just grabbed part of it, so all are treated as AM - why on earth didn't they use the original call record which is held in 24hr format!!
So, when will this be fixed and what delights await me next month? Presumably, this will be like all the other errors and data losses from previous months - never corrected and backdated, so every bill since February with something wrong ......
Oh, and by the way, the pdf bill version still only shows the 1st 2 minutes of "call home free" and misses out the (potentially very long) continuation data - although the csv does have it this month.
David

Well, a month has gone by and of course the next bill comes out with exactly the same faults!
Are the poor mods not allowed to tell us that they have been instructed to bin all complaints made via here, or does the team they pass them to bin the problems and lie to our mods that action is being taken?
I have had enough and will now be taking a rather more aggressive legal line. A bill that has been proven to contain errors of fact cannot be legally enforced, and once evidence of my numerous challenges is produced, I would expect any adjudicator to find against a cowboy organisation who fail to rectify or respond.
Also time to get a formal complaint in via the Chairman's office - much tighter timescales that have to be met and higher management visibility of failures. Enough of these will affect the annual bonus for the individual managers, as they all have customer perception targets to meet.
I think it's time to seek compensation too - I'm having to hack what data I can scrape out and eventually mangle it into something usable to apportion costs across my family users. Why should I have to spend hours of my time fixing what should have been done months ago?
Mods - you've been sent my info once already, so I'm sure you can find out who you passed it to last time and give them a boot up the proverbial .....

My app store is saying i have to change date and time setting to get a secure connection but the date and time are correct please help?

My app store is telling me i have yo change date and time setting to download apps and idk what is wrong cause date and time are correct

Is the Time Zone also correct?
