IOS 7.1 Download through iTunes ridiculously slow...
My phone has an issue where it needs to be restored using iTunes... but of course, before I can restore it, it forces me to update to 7.1.
The update download is unbelievably slow and keeps failing.
It shows 1.13 GB and anywhere from 14-15 hours to download.
the download has failed three times, and when it fails it doesnt resume where it left off, it starts over again.
I had let it download all day, and it was down to under 30 mins left and it failed again (said it lost network connection) -- and I had to start all over again.
Right now it is showing 15 hours remaining, and it is literally downloading at the rate of about 0.1 MB every 5 seconds or slower.
And no, there is nothing wrong with my connection , i have FIOS and download everything else very fast.
In the meantime, I have no phone working at all because im forced to do this before i can restore it.
What is going on??
P.s. i am using the latest version of mavericks on a brand new 3.5 gHz i7 27" iMac running latest version of iTunes
