Title: Very Slow Down Load For Lightroom 2 Tutorial
Post by: StuartOnline on July 29, 2008, 03:47:56 pm

I just purchased the new Lightroom 2 tutorial.
However when I went to start down loading the file it stated it would take nearly 5 hours just for the first file.

Just to let you know I am on a very high speed Internet connection:
Download Speed: 17431 kbps (2178.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 941 kbps (117.6 KB/sec transfer rate)

So I was wondering is it just the fact that so many are trying to down load this tutorial that the system is over loaded?

Should I give it a try later?

Thanks,

Stu

It's the current feeding frenzy. Sorry about that. There's not much to do other than to try downloading later today, or tomorrow.

Our server can handle about 50 simultaneous video downloads on top of the rest of the site's traffic, but when people start to try and download multiple files simultaneously the server starts to sag.

We ask people not to do this, but some people are in a hurry.

It'll sort itself out in the next few days.

Thanks for your patience.

I will be waiting a week before downloading. I did this for the last big video, and got really speedy downloads. Best to wait for the Pirhanas to stop fighting over the bandwidth, IMHO.

Ok thanks Michael for the response.

Since there is no time limit on down loading at this time I can wait.
I am sure it will work out in due time.
Will be looking forward to viewing the videos.

Best,

Stu

I've always had good luck dling late at night (Eastern US time)--seems its past bedtime for Europe, late for eastern US and so you are just really fighting west coast downloaders--altho' I have 5 of the zips downloaded--one at a time.  I've watched 2 and will wait to dl the rest until tonight after the one that's dling right now (onto main computer--I'm on laptop and though I just installed LR 2.0 here also, I do all my work on my main one).
