Why 2GB Lion Combo Update takes 4 hours to download?

Why 2GB Lion Combo Update 10.7.5 takes 4 hours to download from Apple Servers? I cannot update from Software Update app. In two tries, 8 hours waiting, two times after download finish, get download error. Software Update could not save the file. Any suggestion? Thanks!

depends on Broadband download speed or cellular speed from your carrier

  • HT3951 why would it takes 15 hours to download a movie rental on my computer?

    Why would it take 15 hours to download a movie rental on my laptop this year, and last year it worked?

    What is the download speed of your ISP? Go to speedtest.net and test it and report back.
    I downloaded two HD movies over the weekened at about 3.2GB each and it took less then 30 minutes each.

  • Why do the mac updates take a ridiculously long time

    why do the mac updates take a ridiculously long time? 10 hours? this is ridiculous - my ISP is 40mbps

    Which updates were you trying to get? If you are going to a very busy web site or server, the connections could be extremely slow. But to wait so long invites troubles.
    If the machine is terribly slow, that should be an indication some maintenance or repair may be needed first. Some keyboard shortcuts can be used to check and attempt repair, and the problem likely is in the Mac.
    Everything from the amount of RAM installed, to the total capacity of the HDD (or SSD) vs free or unused space on the drive, is important to the function of the OS X. Or there may be an issue, if the OS X checks out OK, in the internet connection. If you use wireless mostly, check the connections by wire instead.
    Try to not get into a position where you end up using 'force quit' if the computer appears to freeze up. In the process of an update or upgrade, that's almost never a positive outcome.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why does it take 3 hours to download a movie

    Why does it take 3 hours to download a movie on apple tv?  Is there a solution??

    What kind of internet connection speed do you have?
    If you have 3Mbps DSL like I do, and are renting movies on either Apple TV model in HD Format, then it will take quite a while. Actually 3 Hours for an HD Movie would be failry fast here at my home. They are just large files. If I'm going to rent an HD movie, I will usually rent it earlier in the day and watch it when I'm ready.
    If you have an adequate internet connection, and just want to rent movies on the fly and don't care about HD, on the AppleTV v2 you can go to Settings / General / iTunes Store / Video Resolution... and select Standard Definition. With our 3Mbps DSL connection, when we rent a movie it is generally "Ready to Play..." within about 2 minutes at the most (enough time to grab a beer and get comfortable)
    As far as I know, Standard Definition movies still show on the same menu as the HD version with the ATV v1. I preferred that menu format myself because you didn't have to change the option in settings when you wanted to go back and forth.

  • Why would it take 4 hours to download a two hour movie rental.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's likely network related, have you checked your internet download speed (speedtest.net) or tried anything to eliminate interference on you local network.

  • Why will it take 26  hours to download a rented movie?

    Why will it take 26+ hours to download a rented movie?

    For watching a movie only the download speed matters, and 4 mbps is OK, not great but good enough to start streaming a movie in about 10 minutes or less (rentals don't have to download all the way to begin watching).
    Something else is clogging the pipe ... is the ATV connected to the router via Ethernet, or over Wi-Fi?  Wi-Fi is normally faster than your ISP service, but there might be router settings that are getting in the way of the Wi-Fi connection.  Ethernet may be faster, at least to see if it works better, or there might be port settings on your router that need to be optimized (sorry, can't help you there).
    I've also heard that changing your router's DNS address may help things (try OpenDNS's addresses "208.67.222.220" or "208.67.222.222", or Google's DNS "8.8.4.4" or "8.8.8.8").

    What can speed the process up?  Thanks for any answers!

    Are you updating via iTUnes or 'over the air' wirelessly?
    If via iTunes, the update is around a gig, so if you have slow internet, it could be taking that long.

  • Apple TV shows take 15 hours to download, HD movies take minutes, why??

    Hi bca_sd,
    The download of Acrobat should not take this long.
    Are you connected to high speed internet connection?
    Please try downloading from the direct download links available at: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
    You might also want to try downloading from a different network connection and check.

    Hi,
    I've just rented a movie, which claims its going to take 14 hours to download. Its still at it after 1 hour. To make matters worse, the 48 hours it gives you to watch it has already started and charged me an hour. There was a message to say I could start watching it now but it dosen't work. Please can you help?

    You'll have to wait till it downloads much further than. If your download says it will take 14 hours to download, you have a very slow connection. You would never be able to watch the movie until it downloads completly.

  • I just bought a new apple tv and it said that it takes 12 hours to download a rented movie

    I just bought a new apple tv and it said it takes 12 hours to download a rented movie

    It needs to load a portion before playback can start, the time it takes is dependent on your network.
    What is your current connection via speedtest.net (at least 6mbps needed for instant HD)
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
    If on wifi try ethernet
    Reboot ATV and router
