Honored ContributorHi all, I know about FTP and DVD but:
1) The last time I requestet a DVD from Altera, it appeared (in Austria) 4 weeks after request, when a) I was out of the company allready and project was over b) a new Version was out allready. 2) I neither can install Actice-X nor FTP Clients on my machine due to the restrictions, the IT-service causes to us poor engineers. Trying to download the file caused the same trouble with the size. Speed is not higher anyway. The problem is, that sometimes a switch to a new software version has to be done NOW or something must be downloaded NOW, otherwise one cannot continue to work. (and time of engineering consultants is expensive :p ) So a download (somehow shunning all the download restrictions of modern "IT-Services") is the only chance. That is why I recommend to all companies to provide their data via easy and direct web access without JAVA, without POPUP, not as too large files, not named as *.exe or do anything else which could be blocked or cause trouble in any way. ---- update : Two more tries to download failed. (FTP over Browser)
