Slow downloads problem - re: Lion
Downloads from the App. store are a fine idea, IF you have a fast broadband connection - buy I live in a country area of England where the reputed 4G size of Lion will give me a real problem - a download time of up to 10 hours, so 2 questions --
-- is there a way to resume a broken download ?
-- is there likely to be any alternative to downloading ?
It may surprise Apple that we are not all blessed with fast speeds, indeed some of us are still using a dial-up connection due to being too far from their nearest telephone exchange to have broadband at any speed. Broadband can be really poor out here - a near neighbour has speeds from 130 Kbps
upwards ! - needing (using a download calculator) an impossible 69 hours of downloading.
