After trying to download the tools image several times yesterday using
the standard Apple Safari way....which totally bogs down the Finder...I
switched to IE and setup Transmit as the FTP helper (someone noted this
earlier on the list). That was a way better way of doing things and in
something like half an hour I had downloaded the whole thing and burnt
it to disk.
While I think Apple is on track with trying to have an FTP server just
show up in the Finder as a mounted volume, the inherent slowness of
this approach (or is it just the inherent slowness of the ADC
servers???) is pretty dumb. Oh, I can remember a day when I used to be
able to download OS updates via Apple's Gopher site (bypassing the
crowds on FTP). Why we need to authenticate to download the Tools just
stumps me anyhow.
OT: I just signed up to this list a few days ago and the very first
helpful bit of information was about this XCode 1.1 update vs Tools
fiasco. If not for this list, I never would have know that I was
missing some updates by just going with Software Update. It would have
been more helpful if Apple had made it very VERY clear at that point
that the complete download is what most of us would really want.
