Yes, I have downloaded them all over a 128 k line. It took most of
the weekend to accomplish, with many timeouts. Each file took about
an hour, which is somewhat longer than the ADC website timeout.
Since downloading a file via FTP somehow doesn't qualify as "Active
use" I had to reconnect many, many times.
All done now and the install seems to be OK. Hardly a great example
of Apple technology. I'm glad my clients didn't observe the whole
hit-and-miss business.
Just for the record, it worked wonderfully for me. I downloaded three
parts at a time at around 20k/sec each on a cable connection. It took
a few hours, but the process was smooth. I just queued them all up in
Transmit <http://www.panic.com/transmit/> and let it run.
Hi Prachi,
you had a much better download experience than me. Obviously one of
the reasons was that you have a cable connection, but you also say that
you used Transmit.
I'm showing my ignorance here, but I realise I don't know how I could
have obtained these files through an ftp utility. I've downloaded
Transmit on your suggestion, but I don't see how to use it in this case.
To get the Xcode files I went to the ADC Download Software page and
clicked a Download button. Sometime this gives a message "Could not
open the page ...... server is busy". If I keep trying the server
directory will eventually mount in Panther. then I select one of the
23 files and drag it to my local disk. if I try to do anything else,
like select a second file, I'll have to go through a slow motion stage
of spinning pizzas before I can make a second selection. making more
than one selection almost guarantees a broken connection at some point
during the download hour(s)
So how would I insert Transmit into this process? I don't see any
obvious server address, although of course I know one is being used to
mount the server. If I copy the address that shows in the error
message I still have to answer the other questions, like user name,
password, initial path and port. Where do I find these values for an
ADC download? I've always just clicked on the page, but for this Xcode
download things have changed.
I should know this stuff. I've used Fetch for many years, but not
often. I'm just a bit confused because I don't see the information
that would be required to request an ftp download.
Denis
