I purchase the July issue of this magazine which is 466.1 Mb in size. It is taking an eternity to download. Has anyone on this forum experienced this? I have a Telkom 1 Mb ADSL line and Mweb is my ISP.
Downloading of Popular Science with iPad
Newstand is buggy ...
Don't let anything interrupt it - so no screensaver and don't use the iPad for anything else
+1 to Dolby, that is probably the culprit

I rather use Zinio - they have a great collection of local and international magazines and they are not as large as 500Meg - Zinio also has some awesome magazine subscription deals every week. On a 1 meg line they download fine in Zinio..Originally Posted by pedruid
Downloading 466mb file on a 1mb line will take forever, doesn't matter which program you use.

As Mweb does not have access to a local Akamai CDN edge server that Apple uses try to change the DNS server on your wireless router or iPad to:
196.41.0.10
196.41.0.11
+1, I use Zinio As well, but because its cross platform. Never had issues with it.
.... and thanks for all the fish.
My thanks to all of you who responded.
But it takes 3 times as long with Apple.
Also make sure it's uncapped, because it uses 3 x as much data too. My first issue took 1.2GB and numerous hours and attemps
Never have any issues with Wired, National Geographic or Popular Science, we are on a 4mb line though.
As was said a 1mb is too slow.
