Why does the partial update fail? This is the third time in a row that I
have had to endure the very slow servers and download the full update.
Why
is this?
I'm not going to further update SM if I have to do these big, slow full
updates.
Updated very quickly and easily here using Windows 7 and about 7Meg
download speed. I also live on a small island off the West coast of
Scotland so I am a wee bit remote.
I'm in the middle of the Pacific ocean and have 15/1 plan but Mozilla has
extremely slow servers....always has. I get about 240KB/sec on download.
I have no idea how you diddle your network settings on Windows, or if they
extend the "We know best" to that, but setting your window size larger often
helps for connections with slow ping times. That allows more packets to be "in
flight" out of the server but unacknowledged by your system. Bigger is better in
this case, defaults were probably set for 640k Windows 95 and never tuned for
current memory sizes.

We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have
taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
