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.

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

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!
