So Xcode 1.5 is available, is it? Not for those of us with a dialup
connection and a 2-hour timeout. So here's my first question - why the
f--- does Apple bother with segments?
for folks with a dial-up connection i am assuming
For people with a fast connection, they're a pointless irritation;
whereas for people with a slow dialup (me), they're too big to
download before the timeout.
sounds like you are requesting maybe smaller segments? yes?
On a good day I can download about 22 MB within my 2-hour limit. And
make that a 1 hr 50 min limit when you allow for the time wasted
hunting for a server which isn't overloaded. Which leads to my second
question: How come resumable downloading is STILL beyond the wit of
Apple's engineers?
resumable downloading is a product of the client side software. Firefox
1.1 via ftp can do this for sure and safari 1.2.2 can do it as well.
there are more...
here is a list of accelerators that can help you as well if you are too
slow:
