If it’s slow it’s slow and it doesn’t matter whether you do it on the PC or the phone. I am pretty this doesn’t even necessarily have to do with your download speed but rather with Apple’s servers. For example, I was going to upgrade my iPhone 6S which was on 9.0.2 to the latest iOS 9.1 Beta 3 last week. This is of course a large, 1.4 Gb download. I was at work and while there may be ways to upgrade to a public beta with iTunes, I decided to do it from the phone. I have a 25 Mb down ADSL connection and normally I could download a 1.4 Gb file in about 6 or 8 minutes, but the phone started out saying 2 hours, then 4 hours, then at one point it said 12 hours and looking at the download progress it was going super slow. I at one point paused the download and restarted it and that went a bit faster, but still slow. It was sitting there on my desk, plugged in and I had set the auto lock to never lock the screen. Anyhow, when it was time to go home for the day I was about 35% done after probably 3 hours. So I went home which of course would have paused the download since it will only download such a large update on WiFi. When I got home I didn’t immediately check, but not 10 minutes later a message popped up on my phone telling me that iOS 9.1 was now ready to be installed which means almost two thirds of the download finished in 10 minutes where one third earlier had taken hours. I did, by the way, check my business internet connection on Speedtest.net and the results came back telling me I was getting the full download and upload speed my connection is giving me and while iOS was downloading super slow on my iPhone, I downloaded some other files on my PC and they came in super fast. I think there sometimes is just no explanation why a download is very slow, the bottleneck could be in many places and all one can do is wait or stop it and try later to see if it’s faster.

When you add more processing into the chain things will always slow down. I find doing anything with the IPhone via the pc to be tedious at best and frustrating all the time.

Just for your information if this happens to you. I just updated my Wife’s iPhone 5C. It took 3 hours to download the file on the same WiFi connection that took me 5 minutes the other day. I almost gave up and assumed that there was nothing happening until my wife looked at the screen and read what JAWS would not read. It was downloading and it said it would take 6 hours. Well, the times on those things are ridiculous, but it did keep slowly updating the number of MB downloaded. Unfortunately, I could not read this with JAWS in Windows 7. So, if this happens to you, give it some time. It may still be downloading. Neal -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.
