OK, OK, OK: now zipping Xcode 11.5 into however many 650 MB chunks . . .

Sorry if I said Xcode 15 - just a typo, it’s actually 11.5. But the point
remains the same. As I have said before, it seems that Apple are offering files
as big as the Library of Babel for no logical reason. Stephen’s idea that they
expect you to have a fibre connection is probably true, but odd considering
that there are so many places in the world not yet offering high speed internet.
I didn’t bother to explain that in my tiny French village, the new
state-sponsored optical fibre goes straight past my house, but sadly on the
wrong side of the road! I have contracted with the necessary ISP, different
from the one I’m using now, but after an abortive visit by a very nice
technician who announced that she couldn’t solve the problem herself, they have
outsourced the link from one side of the street to the other to an external
contractor, with the result that the original August installation date has been
pushed out to November! I have even tried to organise a bit of private work to
get the cable across but the ISP will not play ball.
In practical terms, I will either hang over my Mac for a few more hours or take
up the sensible suggestion of getting someone else with true broadband to do
the download for me. The point of my email though was to ask if there is a way
of downloading a huge file by any other method than simply swallowing the whole
elephant in one go - looks like there isn’t.
Thanks all
Graham

Cripes!
xCode 12.2. beta 2 takes up 10.5 GB of space . . . wonder what the bloat is:
Tim Cook's unwashed laundry?

This is a question for people having to use XCode to generate iOS apps. I find
from responses on this list that I now need Xcode 15 to have a chance of
generating for iOS 14. I would ask Apple this quesiton, but I doubt if I would
get a meaningful answer:
I'm working deep in the French countryside with an ADSL connection - although I
have enough bandwidth to stream TV programs, really long files are hard to
download. Downloading Xcode - which is reported to be an 8.12GB file - at a
speed of between 300 and 750 KB/sec is a nightmare. If the download speed drops
below some unspecified limit, the download stops and has to be resumed in
Safari, but that's not the worst of it. If I leave the download overnight,
having got say 4 out of 8 Gb loaded, when look at the download folder in the
morning, it only contains 14 bytes, necessitating a complete reload! There
isn't even anything in the Trash. What's that about, and is there any way I can
simply accumulate the download bit by bit until it's all finished?
If anyone has any hints, I’d be grateful. Otherwise it means spending some
hours keep the download pot boiling and wrecking the rest of my day.
Thanks
Graham
