Slow download even the combo version

Hi I have been having problems with my download with 10.10.3 I checked my internet connection it's fine the speed but the download speed whenever I install it is always like this. I need some help

10.10.3 combo is 2 GB = 2048 MB = 16384 Mbit.  
At 25 Mbps = 655 seconds = 11 minutes.
At 5 Mbps ~=3000 seconds = 50 minutes
At your speed of 33 Kbps, which is about that of a dialup modem that is about what they were in 1994, it will take a pretty long time.  By 1997 they were making 56 Kbps modems.   ISDN is about 128 Kbps.    Low end DSL lines that had no noise on telephone lines could accomplish 384 Kbps.   5 Mbps is the normal speed of most cable internet connections, and that's about 5120 Kbps.   If you are less than 2 miles (3.2 km) from the telephone company DSL central office, getting 2 Mbps DSL should be practical.     25 Mbps is the minimal speed of fiberoptic internet sold by both Verizon as FiOS, and Comcast XFinity.  
If you have a high speed internet line, either your connection isn't good, or you are sharing your connection with that number of devices that your speed is relegated to plain old dialup speeds.   Modems that use USB speeds can really be slowed down if the drivers aren't right.  You are far better with 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac wireless or ethernet based connections.
If you have any connections with Limewire, Transmission, or peer2peer networking those can slow down your connection as well, in addition to expose to you to trojan horses not normally seen on Macs, which could also result in slowing down your internet.   Unless you use such tools, there is no need for software based firewall or anti-virus software.  And backing up should be done prior to any download, including any backup to a Time Capsule which could slow down your download.

  • Keep getting a message that firefox is outdated but when trying to update the download is the same version in mac os

    keep getting a message that firefox is outdated but when trying to update the download is the same version on mac os. The version is 34.0.5 .As soon as I launch the brwswer i get the update message.

    hello dbajayo, your useragent (the information the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently mistakenly - shows you're on firefox version 3.6.
    probably some sort of toolbar or adware has overwritten it. please refer to this article in order to reset the user-agent settings in firefox: [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]]

  • Is there a way to download only the HD version of a movie and not the SD version?

    In order to save space and to not exceed my service provider's data limit, I'd like to know if there is a way to download only the HD version without having to download the SD version as well? Currently, I have to open the "Download" box and highlight all of the SD downloads and delete and remove them. Of course, it begins to download them the next time I open up iTunes (and yes, I have turned off and on the auto-download feature).
    Any help is much appreciated.

    I did get an answer to this question from the rep at my local Verizon store.  I just wanted to provide the answer in case someone else has the same question.
    While in the email you wish to reply to, press the white envelope shape on the upper right corner of the screen.  This will open up as the reply to the sender.  If you press the word "reply" in the upper left had corner (of this window) a drop down box will appear with more options.  Reply, reply all and forward.  Hope that helps.

  • After downloading new version of firefox, i didn't like it and attempted to restore my system to a previous time and version of firefox. Now firefox won't open, even the old version isn't there anymore.

    I want to get firefox back, keeping all of the bookmarks.

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    *Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    Hi,
    I built a VI using LabVIEW 7.0 that detects the valleys in a sine wave. It uses the 'Peak detector' VI that I believe is available in the evaluation version.
    (Functions palette >> All Functions >> Analyze >> Signal Processing >> Time Domain >> Peak Detector)
    I have attached a VI as well as the screen shots its front panel and block diagram.
    I hope this helps.
    Sincerely,
    Feroz

  • Does the Distribution download have the correct version of the Plugin?

    I am downloading the MSI package for the 'Adobe Flash ActiveX and Plugin' (link below), like I do every month. The ActiveX download appears to be fine. However, the Plugin download does not appear to be correct, looks different. In Program and Features, the Adobe Flash Plugin reads "Adobe Flash Player 16 NPAPI" instead of reading "Adobe Flash Player 16 Plugin" - I need the MSI download for IE-11. Did someone put the one for FireFox at the download site by mistake? Can someone place check this?
    LINK to distribution site....
    Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe
    Thank you in advance,
    RK

    I forgot to mention, I am trying to download the latest version of flash Plugin 16.0.0.235 MSI package for IE-11 on a Win7 (64-bit) computer.

  • How do I install CS6:Design Standard onto my iMac? I already had it on my MacBook Pro and should get 2 downloads with the student version?

    I bought the student version of CS6 Design standard 3 years ago and installed it on my MacBook Pro. I now just purchased an iMac and would like to download it onto this as well. I should be able to download it onto two computers from what I understand, but when I insert the disk for download, there is no install.app on the disk any longer. I only see set-up.exe (which is for windows). How can I get the programs downloaded onto my iMac?

  • I can't download Safari the newest version on my macbook file dmg.

    I can't find it on the apple downloads page but I cannot download it. Is there any other way for me to download safari the beta newest version. Do you have direct links that is downloadable for mac OS X dmg.

    unfortunately it said it is for OS X too for Leopard, Tiger and I think Panther.
    The Safari 3 beta was for Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5, but has since expired; the finished version of Safari 3 is included with the Mac OS X 10.4.11 updater and all Mac OS X 10.5 packages. No download is available or necessary, as you already have it.

  • I had the old version of Firefox, but when offered to download the new version of Firefox, I did so. After the download and the old version being gone, my system informs me that my computer is too old to support the new Firefox. Now I have no Firefox.

    I just want the old version of Firefox back.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com
    For the full system requirements see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html
