Err, except when the server throttles the download to 60-100 k/s. Took me 18 damn hours, not to mention that it failed several times before I could get it all.

Err, except when the server throttles the download to 60-100 k/s. Took me 18 damn hours, not to mention that it failed several times before I could get it all. It's ridiculous.
N.B. - for those having problems, I used this[1] script to download via wget, then after having downloaded everything minus 100megs before the dl failed, I was able to hand the script the -c flag for wget and continue. Lifesaver.
N.B. II - this script isn't written by me, but rather the awesome 'derencius'. All credit to him :)

- msbarnett 15y agoI've never had Apple's server down-throttle me, and regularly see around 2M/s pulling down Xcode. Maybe your ISP is pulling one of those speedboost scams where the first N megs are at a high speed and then everything afterwards is throttled down?
- singular 15y ago'tis possible, though judging by googling around on this I am not the only one having trouble downloading xcode in a reasonable amount of time. Maybe they should put it out as a torrent + simply seed the thing? Seems a perfect fit, given the size of the download + the number of people getting it.
- danilocampos 15y agoAre you using your ISP's DNS? I had this trouble after fiddling with Google DNS. Removed that from my network settings, all better now.
- singular 15y agoAm using my ISP's standard DNS. It's fine with other downloads... margh!
