Download time should not be effected. What we have cut in half is the latency, or the time that it take to even begin downloading. I am convinced that bandwidth is not my problem. The internet is overbooked in general. There are some things I can do, which I will be trying over the next couple of weeks but that is not the issue at hand.It used to take just over 2 seconds to get 3 days worth of messages out of the database. On the demo it takes .91 seconds to do a whole year. Now how long it takes to download is another issue all together.
We are experimenting with push technology too. If you don;t know what that is, that's ok cause its incomplete technology so far. This would let your computer do some of the work in the middle of the night or when you doing other things or browsing other sites.
Don;t know when it'll be ready, but we're working on it.
