Why do my wireless movie downloads always error and why do HD movies take 6-hours to download on a DSL?

Why do my wireless HD movie downloads always error and take 6-hours on a DSL service?

it could be your DSL connections. HD movie files are usually a 1-3gigbytes.

    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

  • 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.

    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").

  • 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.

  • HT1725 download of movie encountered an error and would not play till the end

    download of movie encountered an error and would not play till the end

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

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

    This I ridiculous. I've purchased Breaking Bad Season 2 and cannot even watch it on my Apple TV. It says a show will take 15+ hours to download whilst a HD movie will download immediately. Why is this so?

  • How can I store movies in the cloud and access them on my devices without having to download them to them?

    Hello,
    I would like to store movies in the cloud and access them from my device without having to download them to the device because there is not enough space on the harddrive to store them on it. How would I do this? Would I have to download the movies to my PC or could I store them directly in the cloud?
    Thanks,
    Tyler

    Would I have to download the movies to my PC or could I store them directly in the cloud?
    There is good news coming!
    Technology experts are working on a movie storage system where YOU have physical possession of the movie.
    This system stores the movie digitally on an optical disk system that will not be dependent upon a congested, complicated, and fragile network.
    Because all of the data is stored only a few feet from your television, all the bottlenecks are removed.  Performance and reliability are virtually flawless.
    Further, the system will not utilize any form of security codes, authentications, or passwords. Once the optical disc is purchased it can be moved around freely at will, and can even be lent or given to friends and neighbors with zero hassles.
