Slow Download Speed for VHD file

Hello, I've looked for the answer to this problem on multiple different sites, but to no avail.
I'm trying to download a 29.2 GB VHD file that crashed up in the cloud so that I can attempt to fix it, or recover the files. Unfortunately, I am achieving abysmal download speeds, even though speedtest indicates that it should be much higher. For example,
right now speedtest indicates that I have a 5MBs connection, but my download is capping at about 1 MBs +- 20KBs. Does anyone know the reason for this? Is there anyway to get around this?
Thanks in advance.

You can achieve up to 30 gigabits/sec of egress for a locally redundant storage account and up to 60 MB/sec or up to 500 requests per second for a single blob (See Azure Storage Scalability and Performance Targets article
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-scalability-targets/ for more info).
You can also turn on storage analytics/metrics to find out the total egress that you were able to achieve in Azure Storage (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn782843.aspx)
to rule out the possibility of hitting the scalability limit.

I need to update to the latest version of Snow Leapord-currently running v10.6. Because of where we live the slow download speed for such a large file has kept me from downloading the update. What can I do short of hooking up computer elsewhere?

Do you ever visit a friend or realtive with a Mac who has faster internet? Maybe the local library has Macs on a fast line. If so, get a USB thumb drive and put this link on it from your computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Then put this link on the drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1429
When you are at some place that has a Mac with a decent download speed. insert the thumb drive in that Mac and click on the first link ("DL1399") and direct the download to your thumb drive. Now do the same this with the second link.
The installer files will now be on the thumb drive and, when you get home, drag them from the thumb drive to your desktop. Install the Combo update first.

Slow download speeds for my photo/travel blog downloads- how can I speed up

I am trying to make some modifications to my iweb photo/travel blog site to shorten the time it takes to download, particularly on visitors using pc's. It takes over a minute to download a days post if visitor has ultra fast connection speed and 2 or 3 min. with average DSL speeds. My archive page is the slowest as it has now become the longest page... tho it has no pics and graphics to speak of.
My pics are hi resolution, is that the problem or am i posting too many... usually 10 to 15 per daily post with some text boxes to boot??? on the archive page, can I split it up some how into 2 or 3 pages or by month?? thanks for helping a new mac user. mark.

It's a function of your iPhone's data speed, which is a function of your physical location and your carrier. Talk to your carrier about increasing your data speed (probalby unlikely) or get dedicated internet to connect your computer to, i.e. cable, fiber, etc.

Slow loading speed for static files

We are running an azure website on a S2 hostingplan and have a bundled and minified javascript file that is 1.6MB large. The load times of this file are sometimes 600ms and other times it suddenly jumps up to 4 seconds or even higher.
To improve the loading times we tried creating an azure cdn endpoint that loads the files from the azure websites and now we sometimes see loading times of around 200ms. But sometimes it still jumps up to 4 seconds or higher.
Can anyone give me an idea what is going on, I assume the larger loading times are due to disk access and figured that adding an cdn would fix this problem but as it turns out it didn't.
What is going on here?

To isolate and help us investigate, can you try the following:
create a dummy site in the same web hosting plan as the site at stake. e.g. give it some random test name.
Drop that javascript file in the wwwroot folder of that site
Do you see the same slowness? If so, can you share the name of this dummy site to help us investigate?

HT5731 I forgot about slow download speed's negative effects... hence (I think) the videos I downloaded stop in the middle. I have a better download speed if I connect directly to LAN. Is there anyway for me to fix the videos previously purchased?

I forgot about slow download speed's negative effects... hence (I think) the videos I downloaded stop in the middle. I can get a better download speed if I connect directly to LAN. Is there anyway for me to fix the videos previously purchased or re download them without having to re purchase them? I'm attempting to play the video's directly from iTune "purchased" folder on my Win7 Home Premium PC.

Never mind.. I found instructions on how to re download purchased items. I only need help downloading 2 more items. I love the attention I've recieeved (I guess silly questions go unoticed... sigh)

Extremely Slow Download Speeds Compared To Pc

My PC when downloads the same file at 100+ kb/s when my MacBook downloads at maximum of 25-30 kb/s.
How can I speed it up.

I'm getting a slow download speed, what can I do to improve it?
If you are using a firewall or router, be sure that ports 6112, 3724, and 6881 through 6999 are open and forwarded to your computer and only your computer. Refer to your firewall/router's documentation for instructions on opening ports and setting up port forwarding. Also, make sure that no other programs that use bandwidth are running while using the Blizzard Downloader.
Please consult our Slow Download Speeds page for more information:

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.

Sigh slow download speeds iPad

Is anyone having problems with slower download speeds on iPads and if so any suggestions to fix? Also some videos on my laptop, ex: like twitter mobile uploads I'm trying to view, are slow. Come to think of it, some youtube things slow to download on laptop, too, so not the sites' faults.. Is it Verizon's? Why is the download speed erratic to non-exisitent on certain videos with Fios?

The first thing that needs to be checked first is the FiOS connection. Go to http://measurementlab.net/measurement-lab-tools#tool1 and perform a speed test using a computer connected via Ethernet and see if the results match what you should be getting on your connection. Additionally on the iPad, visit testmy.net and perform their download speed test. If you have any additional PCs in the home that can use Wireless, perform a speed test over Wireless using the Measurement Lab address.

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

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.

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.
I run Apple os/x latest version and have since yesterday begun to experience constant very slow download speeds.
I have rebooted the router and I have reset it. I have tested with wireless and wired into router. No real change.
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.
Thank you in advance.

Anyone else having slow download speeds ?

disappointing, as i liked the service from them...

What has happened to download speed for any video....tv, movies

Since about 2 days ago, the download speed for purchased video has become ridiculous. A 30 minute tv show takes MORE than 30 minutes to download......it used to take about 3 minutes...or less. I rented TRON yesterday and it took over 3 hours to download......it used to take 10-15 minutes. This happens on both my 2 Macs and 1 Windows machines. My Internet connections report a solid 20MB down and 1.5 up.....on every machine and device I have. It is NOT a problem in my home system or machines. All other downloads are fine.
Something is seriously wrong with Apple's iTunes websites. I am certain that there is nothing wrong locally......no machines have changed.....and they all experience this abysmally slow service.
Netflix streams full HD fine on all machines, by the way. I wouldn't even begin to download an HD movie from iTunes until someone at Apple figures out why their service suddenly is not useable.

My box has similar issues with Multiplex D (which Film 4 and 4 Music are on). My TV is absolutely fine but my Vision box is less happy. I have the channels listed but no picture. I keep meaning to replace my aerial leads but haven't got round to it. Strange thing though is that my aerial goes to my vision box which then goes to my TV so it makes no sense as I would expect the reception to be the same or worse on the TV as with the Vison box.

Slow download speed on my macbook pro compared to windows.

Hello,
When i use my macbook pro to download a file i hit very slow download speeds (50 kb/s tops), compared to fast download speeds in vista using boot camp (300 kb/s tops) and the same when i use my brothers PC.
Anyone know how i can fix this or why it might be happening?
thanks

Common strategies:
* Use ethernet instead of wireless.
* Get a better/upgraded ISP.
* Get a better/upgraded router.
* Get a newer mac.

IPad 2 / Apple TV slower download speed than laptop?

My Apple TV (gen 2) and iPad 2 both have issues with download speeds. Netflix has pretty much become useless on my Apple TV due to the slow download speeds. I'm currently using CableOne for my internet provider and I consistently get ~ 20-25Mbps download speeds on my laptop, but only around 0.75Mbps on the iPad 2.
I use a Linksys WRT64G router and currently have it set to use wireless "G" only, QoS and WMM disabled, WPA Personal Security with AES encryption and the wireless set to channel 1. All these settings were based off other user's findings that have had the same issues and yet I'm still having problems.
Both the iPad and the router have been rebooted without improvements.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance...

wireless is unreliable for the speedtest as it varies depending on home conditions so only way accpeted is by cable. if that also shows a problem then you can take it from there
