How do I increase the file download speed?

When downloading outside of firefox, I manage anywhere from 5mb/s to 16mb/s, depending what I am downloading and where from. Yet, when a file has to download from within the browser, it downloads at 1/30th to 1/10th of that if I am lucky. Is there some kind of restriction built in to firefox that I might be able to change or am I just S.O.L?

Download / upload speeds depend on 3 things.
* The speed of the ISP
* The speed of the sender
* The speed of the receiver
Since you seem to have decided Firefox is the issue, lets work on that.
Go to the '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]''' {web link}
(There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager.
There are also external programs that can be used.

HT4863 How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

You can't change it, and I suspect few email providers would allow a file that big. Consider uploading it to a service like Dropbox, then email the link allowing the recipient to download it.

How can I change the file download time using Adobe Send? Adobe SendNow had a lot more options.

There isn't a feature in Adobe Send for setting and end-date for a file's availability. At any time, you can Unshare the file, however.

How to increase the camera download speed and save binary file speed

My camera is pco dimax S1 camea. The interface is cameralink Base.
The memory is on board.
I use 1000fps@480*480 resolution to capture 1 sec.
Then download the images from the on board memory to computer.
The board in the PC side is NI-1429 board.
Theory, the cameralink transport speed should be 250MB/S
In the file format, file size should be (480(H)*480(V)*16bit*1000fps)/8=460.8 MB
Logically it should be download complete under 2 sec
But in my program, the real download speed at about 40 framess/s, (480*480*16*40)/8=18.432 MB/S
(250MB/S)/(18.432MB/S)= 13.85
The download speed is totally slower 13.8 times.
I use the SSD and RAID 0 to save the file.
I did some test as below:
1. Try to save png or binary file. The speed of binary had a litter faster, but it still doesn't close the 250MB/S.
2. I try to adjust the resolution from 16bit to 12bit or 8bit to save the image. The download speed still 40 frames/s(18.432MB/S)
3. I try to use IMAQ Sequence to save the file, but how to add in my program, can anyone help me?
On the other hand, I also guess may be the structure of my program have an problem cause the download and save speed slow.
Attached please find the program.
To see if there are other ways to increase the speed of file written!

You have to separate your step1 and step2 into two parallel loop.
If you put the two tasks in one loop, the lower speed task will affect the loop speed.
So that the program won't achieve the top speed.
Is continuous acquisition required for your application? Can sequence acquisition or finite acquisition be your workaround?
The memory handling in continuous acquisition is way a lot more difficult than finite acquisition.
I would suggest you to figure out how finite acquisition work and then jump into the continuous acquisition application.

How do I increase the file size of a photo?

I have an iMac with Mavericks installed and took a photo with my iPhone 5 that I would like to increase to a 2 MB JPEG file size. How do I do this?

Export with higher quality (file menu ==> export - see the use tip on exportign for details on options)
However this will not change anything about the photo except the amound of disk sopace it uses - the photo is stil exactly the same no matter how large you make the file by reducing compression

How can I increase the data loading speed

Hi Expert,
I need to populate a table cross dblink from another database each night. There are about 600,000 rows. It takes about two hours. This is the steps:
delete from target_table;
insert into target_table
select * from source_table@dblink;
commit;
I can't use truncate in case the loading fails that I still have the old data.
How can I increate the loading speed?
Thanks!

DELETE and INSERT /*+ APPEND */ aren't a good combination, as the high water mark will keep going up.
With a trivial number of rows like this I would not expect the delete or insert to be the problem. (How long does the delete take anyway?) It's more likely to be to do with the query over the db link. Is it just one table or is that a simplified example? Can you check the equivalent insert over on the remote database? If it's much faster I would investigate the network connection.

I'm trying to download updates to iTunes but it's downloading to an external drive that doesn't exist - how do I change the file download path?

Perhaps try the following user tip with that one:

How can I make the file download expire like in SendNow?

In Send Now, you can set up an expiration period for the document so that it is not just hanging out there. I do not see it on Adobe Now. Is this function still available?

Hi,
That feature is not available yet.

How to see the file transfer speed on a mac

Hi, I'm kind of a beginner with a Mac, I have worked on windows for all this years and now I have a small dilema. Can someone please tell me how you can see the file transferring speed on a mac. When you copy and paste from one drive to another, or from time capsule to my mac, etc a dialog appears showing you a progress bar and the time remaining. I would also like to see the speed of the transfer. Is it posible to see this variable?

In windows - vista when you copy or paste a folder from one location to another in the file transfer pop-up you can see the speed of the transfer.(You must press the more details arrow on that pop-up). Does Leopard has any configuration for this kind of information.
I will try iGet and write here my feedback.

Increasing the File Copy Throughput

How do I increase the file copy throughput (within and between the Azure VMs)?
I have read the article about increasing the number of ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit but couldn't find how/where I can make this change.
http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/applisec/2012/01/04/windows-azure-benchmarks-part-1-blobs-read-throughput/
Currently, when I make copy the file between the VMs or Drives within a VM, the transfer speed is only 10-20 MB/s and I think it should be much higher than this especially when I am copying between the drives in a VM.

HI;
Please create a new VM from a different storage account in a different geographic location and cross check.
in case if the issue still persists we will need to further investigate it and you would have to open up a Technical Ticket with our Windows Azure Technical Support team.

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email but cannot find it on my hard drive or in recycle bin - it's in downloads but am unable to open from downloads - how can I recover the file?

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email (service provider is MWeb) but now cannot find it on my hard drive and it's not in the recycle bin. It does, however, appear in Firefox downloads but I'm unable to open it from there. How can I recover the file?

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.

My performance is very slow when I run graphs. How do I increase the speed at which I can do other things while the data is being updated and displayed on the graphs?

I am doing an an aquisition and displaying the data on graphs. When I run the program it is slow. I think because I have the number of scans to read associated with my scan rate. It takes the number of seconds I want to display on the chart times the scan rate and feeds that into the number of samples to read at a time from the AI read. The problem is that it stalls until the data points are aquired and displayed so I cannot click or change values on the front panel until the updates occur on the graph. What can I do to be able to help this?

It may also be your graphics card. LabVIEW can max the CPU and you

Did you download it using iTunes for Windows, or did you download it directly to an iOS device?
