Re: Update on RDi 9.0.1 download

OK, this won't format well, but this is what I've got in that folder after
download:

Why do I need all this? This references Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP, etc. I
don't have any of those, just Windows. And I don't find any instructions
anywhere online on what to do to install. I obviously did something to
install WDSC 7 and the RD whatever versions 7.x and 8.x, but I must be
senile because I don't remember.

That's really good, esp. compared to 22 hours for 1.5 GB!

I do have one extra factor - I was on a Remote Desktop when I started
the download - I'm going to try it direct.

And maybe it was just a bad day - or Centurylink has really sporadic
behavior.

FYI: I started the download(s) yesterday just before leaving yesterday

5pm. Based on the file timestamps in Windows Explorer, the last one
finished at 7:30pm. So it took about 2.5 hours for 13.6gb.

I usually go with the online IBM repository - that has not taken even 2
hours, as I recall. More like 15-30 minutes at the most.

But getting the entire images? Ridiculous!

There have been long-standing issues also with downloading PTFs - seems
this has not been addressed.

My last install took I think around 2 hours. I upgraded directly from

the IBM repository instead of downloading the files separately.

I think it's the NAS - my download bandwidth is really wide - 50Mb -

and

it still took until the next day to get both files downloaded.

Maybe we can't be friends anymore.

Or does Centurylink throttle stuff? That's my provider.

I'm getting timeouts galore, so that the download has to resume where

it

left off. That seems to be what others are getting.

Maybe one of the timeout options needs to be set. I know we can do both

connection and data timeouts on IBM i, not sure about from my FileZilla

to

whatever is the server in Boulder or wherever.

I've never had it anywhere near that fast - over various networks from

the speed of downloading similar files from other sites including my own
IBM i.

Maybe someone has been "listening in" on this conversation?

Well, to be honest, those times were from work where the bandwidth is
managed to some degree. Let me run a quick test here.

Okay, here on my cable modem the large file is 12 minutes. 12
minutes for 1.5GB seems reasonable to me.

Joe

Even your times are pretty sad though Joe don't you think?

I've done similar size downloads from Apple and other companies and

rarely have to leave it running while I do other stuff.

It just saddens me that IBM who have such a big play on how

important

the web/cloud/etc. are constantly among the worst performers when it

comes

to web site and download performance. I just don't understand it.

And that was both files. The smaller 800MB file took about 75
minutes (running at the same time as the big one) and then the big
one finished up in another 45 minutes or so.

This was Thursday I think. So maybe I was taking all the
bandwidth. :)

Two hours for me.

I just checked on the download I started yesterday. Let's say I
started the download at 8am.

2 ZIP files, DISK1 is 1.5 GB, DISK2 is 800MB.

DISK1 finished at 6am THIS morning - 22 hours
DISK2 finished at 5:30pm yesterday - 9.5 hours

Oy!

Or may I say? ENJ-Oy! Oy! Oy!
