Slow download - HELP

Hi,
I just purchased the 80g ipod and I'm trying to download a movie.....I purchased the movie from itunes, but now it is saying that is takes 8 hours to complete. I don't know what is wrong, I am not using dial-up. Can someone tell me what the problem is?

Dr. Doss:
I also have a new 80gb ipod, and just tried to download video to it for the first time. I found it took about 5-6 minutes to download a single episode of Grey's Anatomy (30 minutes, I think). Does this ratio sound right, to you? I'm using a high-speed cable modem on a pretty fast Dell tower (2.8 Ghz, 512 MB RAM). For some reason, I was thinking the download would be faster, but maybe the technology just isn't there yet. Are downloads faster on Macs?
On a related topic, is it possible to download video from sources other than itunes? Their tv and movie offerings are quite limited.
Thanks so much,

  • More Than One Computer Trying to Access Web = Very Slow Download Speeds?

    We have Verizon DSL with a basic Westell modem, which supposedly is only a modem with no router capabilities. We have an Airport Extreme Snow Base Station that acts as a WDS Main, with one other AEB Snow as a WDS Remote. All computers have unique ip addresses in the 10.0.1.X range as provided by the WDS Main's DHCP.
    When only one computer connects to the internet to download web pages, software updates, etc., there seems to be no problem at all. When I do a speed check I get results that seem to be in the correct range, and it doesn't matter which computer I use for the test.
    However, if we try to access the internet with more than one computer at the same time, everything slows to a crawl. Such as, if one computer is downloading software updates, the other CPUs have super slow web page downloads, slow to the point of connection time-outs at times. Or if two of the computers are simply trying to download web pages at the same time, one or the other has super slow downloads.
    I feel like there is some kind of routing problem with the Base Station but for the life of me I cannot figure it out.
    What could the problem be? Where could it originate, and what, if any, advice could someone give me to help trace the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    ... the one computer I am looking at right now shows DNS servers as 10.0.1.1, which is the internal ip address of the AEB. Could this be part of the problem?
    That is normal and shouldn't cause a problem. Essentially it tells the computer to ask the snow AirPort base station (ABS) for DNS information. The ABS will then provide the DNS information which it currently received from the ISP.
    Would it help if I manually entered the DNS numbers that appear on the AEB on each machine's Network Preferences?
    Probably not. A busy DNS server or faulty DNS info won't affect download speeds. That only affects browsing since that requires the computer to convert human readable addresses to numbers that the computer can use.
    Remember that the snow ABS only operates at 802.11b (11 Mbps) speeds. Then when you use WDS it cuts your available wireless bandwidth in half.

    Hello, I have a Macbook Pro 13 running mountain lion 10.8.4 has a very slow download on safari and i don't know why it is like this. Any help with this please.

    1.Download speed depends on the Internet Service Provider.
    2.Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
       It will take a while.
       Restart the computer.
    3.Start up in Safe Mode
       http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11212
    4.Reset Safari.
      Click Safari in the menu bar.
      From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
      Uncheck the box next to  " Remove saved names and passwords".
      Click "Reset".
    5.Empty Caches
      Safari > Preference > Advanced

  • How many thousands of Apple TV users have to scream their complaints before Apple will respond to the fury over the impossibly slow download speeds of movies bought through iTunes??????

    How many thousands of Apple TV users have to scream their complaints before Apple will respond to the fury over the impossibly slow download speeds of movies bought through iTunes?

    As jules says, your rate (currently at least) may be slow.
    If it used to be good I wonder is your ISP is slowing ('throttling') your speed after you've used so many GB of a quota each day or month - check what they think you should be getting as a download speed.
    While Apple's servers do occasionally play up, it's generally the ISP being slow not Apple.
    If you're using Google's DNS servers that has caused issues for some.
    Recommended speeds for near instant playback:
    SD         2.5Mbps
    720p      6 Mbps
    1080p    8 Mbps
    Is your speed test from somewhere like speedtest.net?
    It might be helpful to post Mbps to ensure we/you are not confusing speeds by using different units to those measured.

  • Very Slow Download Speed

    Hi,
    I am experiencing very slow downloading speeds, when I am just normally downloading something in Safari, or downloading a torrent with upto 100 seeders.
    The maximum download speed I have seen on my computer is 80kb/s, which is painfully slow for downloading the Adobe trials, when they reach about 1gb.
    I have a router, connected to 2 computers, and speedtest.net has told me that my download speed is 1mb/s.
    It seems like download speeds are being restricted to 80kb/s, so is there any way to 'unlock' full potential downloading speeds?
    Any help much appreciated!
    -Ollie
    Message was edited by: Ollie A

    I think you're making the same mistake a lot of people make.
    The maximum download speed I have seen on my computer is 80kb/s
    Safari reports downloads in kiloBYTES per second, not kilobits, so that 80KB/s translates to about 640 kilobits per second.
    downloading the Adobe trials, when they reach about 1gb
    Really? 1 gigabit per second? I assume that's a typo.
    speedtest.net has told me that my download speed is 1mb/s
    therefore your downloads are progressing at about 64% of maximum. That sounds about right - you won't get maximum throughput for every download - it will vary based on server location, network load and more.

  • MacBook Pro: Very slow download

    Hi, I'm experiencing very slow download speed with Macbook pro recently. Tried download the same file using a Window notebook worked fine. please help.
    I was downloading a spreadsheet from Hotmail: Download speed on Mac: 700b/s; Download speed on Window Notebook: 2Mb/s.

    That's insane.
    Are you sure you don't mean 30Mbps?
    Anyway, have you downloaded a test file hosted via ftp by your ISP?

  • Very slow download speeds with ATT U-Verse

    Hello,
    Experiencing very slow download speeds with Macbook Pro 2011, on Lion,  and ATT UVerse Max, which should allow for an avg. 11-12 MBPS speed. Instead, I get a fluctuating 60-370 kbps speed. I am not experiencing this problem on my Windows machines (Laptop running Windows 7 and Desktop on XP), it is only affecting the Macbook pro. I wonder if this issue is a known problem with ATT U-Verse and Macs, I spent hours yesterday with their support online and they couldn't help me, stating that from their side all settings were OK; the first representative from ATT re-booted the router remotely and that seemed to work for about 10 minutes, and then it went back to a crawling speed...
    Any suggestions welcome!
    Thanks

    Do you have QOS enabled in your router? Did you try plugging the win7 laptop directly and check the speed?

  • Very slow download speed with intermittent halts

    Need some help.

    The results are below and are pretty consistent no matter when or with what computer I test it with.
    This is very frustrating and I would like to know if anyone has experienced this and if there is anything I can do before calling for service.

  • My Take on the Reception and Slow Download Speed Issue

    I seriously believe that the reception problems are a result of something that AT&T has done... Here's why. I started having issues with reception variation and very slow download performance BEFORE the release of iPhone 4 or iOS4. I went to AT&T and got a new SIM. No improvement. I complained at the Apple Store about the variable reception, and the fact that when downloading, the phone got extremely hot to the touch. Because I have been a good Apple customer, the Genius replaced the phone. No improvement. I only upgraded to iOS4 after getting the refurbed "new" phone-- the new OS hasn't really done anything for me other than shorten my battery life..... I am getting pretty tired of sitting in one physical spot, and watching my signal strength go from 5-bars 3G to 1-bar EDGE to "no service" in the span of a few minutes.... Somebody had better do something about this issue, or it's back to Sprint with the new HTC Evo 4G..... Never had reception issues with them!!

    It could be a bit of a design flaw but it could also be affected by iOS4.. any phone with an ariel when hold against skin makes the signal drop period! The only reason its more news worthy is because its actully part of the case.
    It certainly does need fixing but a software update could help improve it for both iphone 4 and 3G/3GS. Ive heard the older models have been suffering this too.
    The reception issue didnt really bother me that much I hold it naturally in my right hand and I dont get a signal issue mainly because I noticed my finger doesnt make contact with the space between the two antennas but then if I apply a finger over the space seprating the antennas the signal does indeed drop its like the two seperated antennas cancel eachother out.
    But I know having to buy a case is a bit stupid when it should work without it but for a phone that cost 500-600 why the **** wouldnt you want to protect it?
    Personally I love the phone the camera is awesome especially the quality of the front facing camera it looks amazing as good as the 3 mega pixel camera on the 3GS.
    The best thing though is definatly the retina display, it looks beautiful. The main thing I liked about the screen tho wasnt the shapeness and quality but the fact that I found it hard to tell the difference between the black colour of the case and the blackness of the screen especially when watching a video with the black bars on the sides of the video,the contrast ratio alone is pretty epic.

  • Extremely slow download speeds and internet browsing on Macbook pro

    I recently got a 13"" macbook pro. System config - Maverick OS/i7 dual core/8GB RAM/750 GB HDD, Almost 690GB of free space available. I am expriencing extremely slow download and internet browsing speed. I have to wait for almost 10-12 seconds for normal sites to download. The app updates and downloads are painstakingly slow.
    The internet speeds are working perfectly fine on my Windows Laptop, and even on my mobile phones. So, the there's no issue of network. Also, I have cleared safari cache etc, just to be sure. But nothing's really helping.
    Can any one help me here.
    Thanks !
    Chetan

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Very Slow Downloads & Timeouts.......Interesting Info!

    Hi,
    Like many other users have posted I have been having problems with very slow downloads in the last few days and connection problems to the itunes store where the rest of the internet was fine.
    After trying disabling firewalls, upgrading to IE7 etc. etc. I tried using Anonymizer SSL to bypass my ISP and any country restrictions and create a direct pipe from my PC to the anonymizer servers in the USA. I should add I am in Japan by the way and access the US store but have had no problems up until a few days ago.
    Low and behold my download speed is back.
    I am awaiting a response from the ISP whether they have changed anything but I think it unlikely.
    So this leaves the following options for myself and other users:
    1) The ISP is capping traffic to itunes. Other American sites are unaffected so it is not a country specific problem.
    2) iTunes itself is denying a suitable level of service to users accessing the american store outside of the US based on IP address!
    These are the only two options I can think of right now. I believe number 1 is unlikely knowing my ISP but I will add to the post if that proves to be correct.
    If anyone has any more technical ideas why a normal ISP connection would be slow wheras a SSL tunnel direct to the states is faster I would be very interested to know and may help a lot of other people out who are outside the US and access the store.

    Hi spike_japan,
    Thanks for the info! However, I've been trying to find a software that does this for Mac comps, but i cant find one. Also, they only work when you want to surf the web anonymously.
    Can you enlighten me on how you bypassed your isp to connect straight to the anonymizer servers in the USA? I'm also using the iTunes store and for the past 2 weeks, i've been getting really slow downloads. I've been downloading a tv episode for over a week one - not one season, one episode. It says 80 hours remaining. So please help me out.
    I'm sure many peope are having this problem too. Thanks in advance.

  • Ipad air slow download

    My ipad air started downloading very slow yesterday. I can't watch you tube due to slow download and can't download new software update. I am on wifi only and other devices are working fine on wifi. I have restarted ipad and wifi to no avail. Any suggestions?

    Close all apps on the iPad and then reset the device. See if that helps at all.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    While there is no way to just have the icons fill the empty spaces, you do have a reset option that will accomplish it.
    Go to Settings > General > Reset.
    You'll see the option to Reset Home Screen Layout.
    Resetting it will fill in those empty spaces, but the arrangement of the resulting icons may require some manual re-arranging to get the icons to the pages you want, and it's not a reversible reset. Once you reset the Home Page layout, you will have to re-arrange icons manually.
    Hope that helps,
    Charles H.

  • Card reader - Slow Downloads

    For some unknown reason I am suddenly experiencing extremely slow downloads when attempting to download images from my compact flash cards using a card reader to an Iomega external drive.
    Until recently downloading a 16GB card to my external drive would probably take no more than 15-20 minutes.
    However for some reason I cannot fathom out this now takes a full 3 hours !!
    I have several compact flash cards and the problem occurs with all cards so I'm confident it is not a media card issue.
    In addition I also have two different card readers and the problem is the same with both. I have also tried using another cable connecting the card reader to the Mac and the cable from the external drive to Mac to no avail.
    For the record the compact flash cards are genuine Sandisk Extreme Pro cards with a read/write speed of 90MB/s.
    Not sure its entirely relevant but I have recently upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and downloaded trial versions of Aperture and Adobe Photoshop.
    I have Also run a system scan using Mackeeper and cleared the Cache etc.
    I am now running out of ideas so any help or advice much appreciated.
    As already mentioned the problem has only started and was never an issue before using the same hardware, cards etc.

    Hello sam45,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are having issues with your SD card being slow to be read from after you updated your computer to Windows 8.1.
    I am curious have you tried re-formating the SD card on the new OS?
    Have you tried other SD cards to see if the issue is consistant? Have you tried a clean profile on your computer? To do this simply make a new profile/user and see if the SD card still takes a while.
    Do you have an Anti-Virus running on your computer? If you do try disabling it to see if the issue persists.
    If you could provide me with the answers to these questions it would be of great help in finding you a solution. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a wonderful day!
