What I want to try is chunks downloads with one file per worker and compute md5 in workers too to go as fast as possible to the next install step, I've got a slow bandwidth but when I use my IDM, I download twice faster.
If we want to be smart, I guess we can improve the algorithm having one chunk per mirror, quickly check the speed, and retain the 4 fasters. Well, I'm not there yet, at the moment I'm playing with URLStream and URLRequestHeader to check is possible or not. Any thoughts or experiences using those 2 classes with Ranges headers ? -----Message d'origine----- De : Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] Envoyé : jeudi 5 septembre 2013 00:14 À : dev@flex.apache.org Objet : Re: [Intaller] Speed up download On 9/4/13 2:54 PM, "Nicholas Kwiatkowski" <nicho...@spoon.as> wrote: >We can't.
