Maybe this shows a generational gap...but I don't think I could ever consider downloading at 600k/sec pitiful.

- DanBC 13y agoWe need some nice speed simulators so people can see what it's like downloading text over 300 baud; 1200 / 75 bps; 9,600 bps and 14,400 bps. You can read the text as it downloads. You use interlaced jpegs so that people can see something while the rest of the image downloads.

For iOS development specifically, I've been told of Network Link Conditioner[2], and supposedly, Fiddler[3] and Charles[4] both includes some of this functionality. 1. http://www.dallaway.com/sloppy/ http://www.dallaway.com/sloppy/ 2. http://mattgemmell.com/2011/07/25/network-link-conditioner-in-lion/ http://mattgemmell.com/2011/07/25/network-link-conditioner-i... 3. http://fiddler2.com/ http://fiddler2.com/ 4. http://www.charlesproxy.com/ http://www.charlesproxy.com/
- kryten 13y agowell to be honest this line usually gets 1200-1500k/sec but it just rained which knackers it for a day at average. The joys of ADSL. Agree in a way though. I still remember being utterly jaw droppingly surprised when I got a 128k ISDN instead of my lowly 28.8k Hayes+POTS setup.
