Has the download performance improved of late

Before I buy any more movies or TV shows from iTunes, I would like to know if the download performance is now at an acceptable level (at least 15MB / minute). If you've made a rental or purchase in the last 24 hours, and the download performance was such that you could start watching within a minute of the purchase, please let me know.

In the interest of fair disclosure --- download performance is now back to normal. I'm currently downloading a number of TV shows at 3.1 MB / sec, which is the max my broadband can deliver.

Has the 3D performance improved?

I'll like to see if/how the 3d performance has improved. Is it faster with FX?
Of course it will be faster in native, but has the time come for 3D fps applets? Or is it "only" the construction time of the code that's better?
I'm not a C fanatic and I mean not disrespect. I love Java. I just really what to know!

You might want to take a look at jmonkeyengine:
http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/
I think it runs ontop of LWJGL but can use another rendering engine aswell (like jogl). Not sure if it would be dificult to make it run in a JavaFX app...

Why has the download/buffering speed slowed down for videos?

Why has the download/buffering speed slowed down for videos?
What can be done about it?
TIA,

The problem is with your router, your internet service provider or you have a marginal connection with your router.
Locate your iPad close to your wifi router and see if the problem persists.

Has the mpeg2 codec improved alot in DVD SP?

I've been using DVD SP since version 1.
I did alot of work with v.1, v 1.5, and v.2
I remember the mpeg2 encoder was crap back in v1 and by v2 it started to improve.
I didn't encode anything with v3 of DVD SP, used another encoder then.
Now I encoded a few hours worth with DVD SP 4, and the quality seem to have improve alot! Or my monitor I use today is alot better then the one I used back then!
Anyone got info on codec improvements?

has apple's codec improved since dvdsp 1, 1.5 and 2?
YES!
why, in 2001, they bought spruce technologies and with that, their personel. before this, from what I understand, compressor algorithms were not that solid (albeit the spec was finalized, but apple was JUST getting into DVD).
with the aquisition of spruce, they revamped dvd studio and compressor, added a.pack (not saying this was directly the result of spruce) and made the GUI friendlier, therefore it appealled to the masses more (easier to use [prosumer]).
bottom line, they bought a DVD company, and it payed off!
the only thing that is confusing is WHY they DO NOT implement hardware encoders or accelarators (like the mpx3000 board).
but i have to agree with davis, i have come across people that loko at bit-rates of < 4 and the "love" the quality. others that have > 7 and STILL are not happy with their results.. so quality is VERY subjective. but i guess ot eahc their own.
also keep in mind that the hardware to which compressor has run has greatly improved.
so i think it is several factors, and it's just going to improve.

How to find the page that has the downloads?

I am signed in to my valid creative cloud account. All I want to do is get to the page that lets me do the downloads of Acrobat, Photoshop, etc. I can't for the life of me find the page! Please help.

Ted,
For what it's worth, I agree.
My experience is that Adobe has lots of valuable information tucked away in somewhat obscure, hard to find URLs. But it seems to be assumed that these locations are plain and clear and people know where to go.
I find myself getting lost in dark corners of the Adobe website at times. Or sometimes just stuck on what to do next. Then I read through the forums and see that apparently everyone knows but me

Which X Series Model Has the Best Performance?

I am looking for the best performing computer in the X series.
Which model should I buy, if that is my criteria?
Thanks!
Richard

Agreed: x201 w/ SSD. 8GB would be great *if* you like to have a *lot* of things running simultaneously. The fact is, with 4GB and an SSD you have less latency on the pagefile. (Also it saves you a few hundred bucks!)

Why has the download indicator bar removed ?i.e if your download is not in Downloads window

If i am downloading some file , in previous version there used to be an indicator below which used to show the download percentage , and now i don't even know weather the file is downloading or not .

The Status Bar is no longer present in Firefox 4 versions and replaced by the Add-ons Bar (View > Toolbars > [X] Add-on Bar) that extensions can use.
You can use the Status-4-Evar extension to replace some functionality.
Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window after you have installed the Status-4-Evar extension and drag the items (Status Text, Progress Meter, Download Status) upon the Add-ons Bar (View > Toolbars > [X] Add-on Bar)

Where has the download page gone for QT win?

I run an online journal. I'm trying to provide links to visitors so that they can download the free Quicktime player. It used to be that to get to the windows version, you'd go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html . But now if I try this, it just redirects to the QT for Mac page. The only way I can find the plugin for Windows is through the downloads update support page, but it's only for the latest version, i.e. not a permalink I can rely on being there in the future. What's up?
The only thing I can think of is that the site is autodetecting that I'm on a mac. But still - it makes it hard for designers if they don't know the URL for pc!
Any help appreciated.

The Apple download page does "detect" the visitors OS and then redirects to the proper download page for that visitor.
You would use: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ in your page code.
If a Mac user clicks they're sent to the Mac download. A Windows user would be sent to the Windows download page.

I just downloaded the Firefox 4 version and it doesn't seem any different. I can't find the place that tells me what version of Firefox I now have. The start page still has the download the Firefox 4 now on it. I have Vista OS. Thanks,

I watched the video on Firefox 4, then restarted computer to let the changes taking effect as the update stated. When the computer started again there was no changes and I can't find it in the downloads or file changes as to what edition of firefox I know have.

Do you have an orange Firefox button in the upper left, or do you have the customary menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc.)?
Either way, you can check your current Firefox version using Help > About Firefox.
To switch from having a menu bar to having the orange button, right-click in a blank area after Help and uncheck Menu Bar. Then, to display the menu bar temporarily, you can tap the Alt key or press the F10 key.
Regarding the start page, there must be something just a little bit custom about the address. Otherwise, you would have been changed to '''about:home''' which is the new start page.

Has the sound quality improved with the new ipods?

i have a new 80 gig ipod that sounds much better then the one i bought 3 years ago.
did apple improve the sound quality?

The audio quality has improved as Apple have been using different processors in the newer 5G iPods. I have noticed an increase in quality, however, a lot of people have also said the quality has deteriorated but I believe its up to the individuals perspective.

Where has the download link gone on My Products page?

My old computer is starting to have issues so now I have a new laptop running Windows 8.1. When I went to My Products, the software is all there but the links to download them are missing. Do i have to uninstall thesoftware from the old computer first?

No, downloading is not depenedent on installation/activation. If you downloaded them originally then there might be links in your account to download them again. If not, you can probably download the application(s) from the site linked below, though you have to carefully follow the instructions for the links to work properly. It also depends on which applications you are looking for.

I was just wondering if the newer verison of FF has the older download box that we all love?

I have FF v21, which has the download box that is loved and easy to use. Especially when i want to pause and resume downloads. I want to update to the latest FF, but i don't like the newer download box. I was wondering what version has the box before it switches over and if the older download box has been bought back?
So many people miss that box and it was one of the best features from FF. If it hasn't been bought back, what is taking so long?
I really want to update to latest FF, but am not looking forward to the download box changing, if it still isn't back.
Could anyone tell me if the latest FF has the older loved download box or the newer one?
Thanks for any help

The Downloads folder in the Library that is used by the new Downloads Manager is present since Firefox 8 (2011), so even in Firefox 23 both are present and managed.
The currently used Download Manager uses the Library and the places.sqlite database file to store the downloads list and treats downloads the same as other history items and adds an annotation (places table: moz_annos) to identify these items as downloads.
The previously used Downloads Manager stored the downloads in the downloads.sqlite file.
Firefox manages downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library (History > Show All History)
*Downloads are treated as history items: clearing history removes included download items and vice versa.
*When downloads are in progress you see an animated download button on the Navigation Toolbar showing an estimate of the remaining time
*The Download button gets a blue highlight once all download are finished to make you aware that new downloads are available.
*Pause and Resume can be found in the right-click context menu of an item in the drop-down list and in the Library.
You can open the about:downloads page in a tab or window for easy access.
In Private Browsing mode the about:downloads page will be used and not the Library Downloads Manager.

Where are the downloads for GT70 Dominator (GTX 970M)?

Original post https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=184675.0
I've looked very hard but I just can't seem to find where the downloads are for the GT70 (GTX 970M), also known as GT70-2QD. I've even registered my product but it doesn't change anything.
GT60 (GTX 970M) seems to suffer the same problem.
On the other hand, GT72 (GTX 970M) has the downloads but I'm not sure if I can use them (BIOS, Drivers etc).
Any help would be much appreciated :cool:

Has the bug stopping iMovie Exporting been cured in iMovie 5 and 6?

In iMovie 4 you cannot export if Final Cut Express is on the computer.
There is a workaround -which I use - but has the problem been cured in later versions?
Ian.

It works great. In fact, I have both installed on my computer, and will frequently move projects and stuff back and forth between each application, depending on what I am doing. But yes, export works great in iMovie HD '06.

HT1338 why has my download navigator icon turned into a ?

why has the download navigator icon turned into a ?.

What is "navigator"?
Where exactly is this ? appearing? In the Dock?
If a question mark appears in the Dock it normally means the actual file/folder/app has been moved and the Dock doesn't know where it is. You will have to find this "navigator" and drop it into the Dock.
