Downloading videos: Wired or wireless connection?
Simulation & EdTech has tested downloadable video and mp3 downloads in a variety of conditions. Use a wired connection for quicker results. Wireless connections are slower than wired connections and all users in the immediate area split the same limited connection speed. Our experience shows that as few as 2 users downloading videos in the same area will dramatically increase download times videos and mp3s. Additionally, wireless connections are easily disrupted and may cause media downloads to fail. If you must use a wireless connection, find a spot where you are alone and close to an access point.
