upgrades and erratic downloads

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: One Day

upon launch, after having downloaded the initial client, it still asks me to update something, but can never get around to downloading it. furthermore, i find that downloads tend to die out, but can be given new life by pausing and resuming. could you keep them more consistent? great product though -- bright future.

also, is there any way to make movie downloads sequential? maybe they already are, but i find that upon previewing a movie file, only certain parts of the movie are downloaded, and these parts are not contiguous making for a pretty sad preview.

keep up the good work, kiddo.

upgrades and erratic downloads - bobbybobbybobby

the previews have non-contiguous segments cause there are a bunch of different users you are downloading it from. say you're connected to a user, but he can only send at 2 KB/sec. no good. mlMac connects to another person, but has to start downloading a different portion of the file, because if it downloads too near the first segment, the first segment may reach the second segment and there will be trouble. so, there isn't any way to fix this, unless you want to be stuck with downloading from ONE user, which isn't always good. take it or leave it...
