    WPI download speed of things being installed

    Hi Y'all,

    Downloaded and installed WPI no problem, picked items, started downloading.

    My normal download speed is 300-350 kB/sec,

    WPI is downloading around 50 kB/sec.

    What did I do wrong?

    Thanks!

    Hi Mark

    Webpi uses Wininet (same libraries as Internet Explorer)   to make  a connection over Http so any downloads you via this should be the same as in the browser.  There is nothing that can be done within Webpi to change or influence  speeds.   The only think I could think of is that if you are trying to select multple installations these could  download concurrently  possibly affecting your measurements. 

    How are you measuring this ?

    Thanks, 

    Richard

    I'm just watching du meter. It was my first use of wpi

    so I was downloading a LOT of stuff, but it looked like

    it was doing them one at a time.

    Thanks!

    Mark,

     You are correct  the downloads are one at a time  and while that is happening  an installation could be occurring.  My only guess from this is perhaps the overhead of the concurrent installations may have  affected  overall machine performance.
