18 years agoSuggestion : Enhance Download Opportunies for Altera Installation files
Depending on the customer, I am working for, I often suffer from restrictions of the given PC especially the (im-)possibility to install active-X plugins. So it is not possible to e.g. install Altera's download manager. Furthmore bandwidth is restricted and so I often fail in getting a complete installation file.
Recently I had to load more than 3GB with several tries to have a running Quartus Install file. :( Suggestion : Could it be a solution to provide Altera Installation files in smaller fragments , e.g in ZIP-files ? Getting 30-50MB is mostly possible and joing them not much work. ... At the moment I am trying to get ModelSIM AE (for 7.2): First load : killed after 40MB, 11 mins Second load : killed after 63MB, 9 mins Third : killed after 29MB, 4mins Forth : killed after 81MB, 21mins fifth : killed after 104MB, 26mins sixth : killer after 20MB two more tries, resetted around 100MB each -> corrupt file. ---------------------------------- Summary : > 500MB while the file is around 100MB. :o What can one do? Driving home to my office and load it privately ?
