Super Slow "Preparing" download
« on: February 25, 2009, 12:32:13 AM »
Hey JD, something about the b9 update has caused my downloads to DRAG.  Small folders are lightning quick but larger ones with thousands of nested files seem to take forever to download.  Right now I'm watching it "Preparing" click from 1037 files to 1039, 1042, 1045, 1049, 1051 about as fast as I type it (pretty slow).  The transcript is running ok but not terribly fast.  It could be my webhost but download has been crazy fast, just this preparing seems to lag.  This is the 4th time I'm re-tried it on these folders over the course of a few hours.

Nothing has changed in this area for several betas, so I'm guessing it's a problem at your end. Keep me posted.

For what it's worth, I just did a quick test and didn't notice any slowdown.

I have noticed this post is over 5 years old! But I am just running into this issue as well. The "Preparing..." progress bar is going for at leaf 5 minutes now. Meanwhile I decided to come here and post.

Is there any solution to this? Maybe some setting in the prefs I'm missing...?

Thanks.

Run the 1.10.2 beta - I'm guessing you're running into an occasional issue in 1.10 that I've since discovered and fixed :)
