I shall try to remember that next time around David & Michelle .................................. I promise. :)
It will be easier if we are on a good fast internet service instead of a crappy satellite one which is slow at the best of times & comes & goes with the weather.
It's wet season here & so it rains on & off, with the 'net disappearing each time.
What is excellent about the
EOTopo downloads is that when cut off like that they can be resumed where they left off when the 'net went out. A particularly useful facet for travellers I imagine.
I managed to get the download all done on the iphone within about an hour, but things slowed when doing the ipad & & with more' 'rain interuptions' too. Took almost 5 hours on the ipad, sometimes with downloads appearing to get stuck, but resuming when I closed the app & restarted it. Quite a mission. Not your fault though.
Wouldn't be an issue if we were somewhere with faster internet, but it's several years since we have had that 'luxury'.
And because of this I do appreciate how the downloads are not only 'resumable' but also how they are structured into separate packages.
