Real NZ Dunedin FAQ
Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2016 1:14 pmOrdering and downloading:
How can I improve my download speed and reliability?
The Real NZ download is 1.14 GB, which is larger than previous Real NZ releases, and more like a Subscription issue. So a reliable connection is necessary to sustain the complete download. For this, a download manager is recommended. If you don't have a download manager installed, you may wish to do some research to see what is available for your browser.
When you use a download manager, you normally select how many concurrent connections -- for Real NZ Dunedin, it is best to select 2 concurrent connections.
Note that the download is hosted on the Amazon server in Sydney, but distributed via Amazon Cloudfront, which caches the file on Amazon servers throughout the world. So while this is a quick and reliable method, early downloaders may not be able to take advantage of it fully, and can just obtain the download from Sydney. This may affect the connection for those with slower connections or a long way from Sydney. A download manager will help a lot here.
