Re: Livecode downloads VERY slow

Back in the olden days I had a MacBook with a built-in modem, I think it was 1200 baud but maybe it was 14.4. We went up to the north shore of Lake Superior every year for a few days and back then it was about as remote as it gets. The cabin we stayed in had a ruidmentary phone line that went in

Re: PDF Viewer widget: expected experience from set the currentDestination?

Hi Keith Yes it does look like the currentDestination docs leaves a lot to be desired. I think there’s a couple of missing related items which is making the document display incorrectly. I’ve created an issue for that here https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23493 Here’s a simple exam

I bet I got you all beat, for geezerdom. I learned to program Fortran on punch cards. 3 runs a day and output was delivered by a messenger, human that is. No freakin’ internet for me! If I remember right, our mainframe, a CDC 3600 had 512K of memory. Merry Christmas, fellow Livecoders. Bill Pr

Re: Livecode downloads VERY slow

OK, memory lane time. Before we had 1200 baud modems, we used to use acoustic couplers. I often used one to call from the main office (England) to our US office, at a mind-blowing 300 baud. Problem was, in those days (1978 I think), even voice transatlantic calls were hit or miss. Often you

Re: Livecode downloads VERY slow

I must be in the really ancient fogey range. I remember 1200 baud modems. In the late ’80s a teacher at our high school in Wawa, Ontario got his hands on one. It was the size of an air fryer. Our computer club at the school hooked it up to a Commodore PET 2001 and tried to connect to Compuserv

Re: Livecode downloads VERY slow

I’ve been using “wget -c http://somewhere.com/somefile” for decades now. Just leave it open in a terminal, and if it bombs partway through, just up-arrow it and run again, so that it continues from where it left off. Dropped connections have always been a bigger issue than speed for me. __
