E Group: Forum Members Posts: 18, Visits: 19	Thanks Tim. All I can say is I came onto the Forum to see if there was a fix because (similar to Thaler's earlier post), I tried it yesterday from a completely different Wifi location and got the same problem. (also having problems with 4G) This is definitely a new issue as I downloaded a whole bunch of AIP data over the summer for various trips without issue - yet now, it is slow to the point that large files prevent other files from downloading. I'm running the latest SD version on different IOS devices (at different IOS levels). Chart data updates fine - but the AIP data is a problem. Pooleys seemed ok (but then I only had 6MB of updates there and all smallish files). I appreciate you need to be able to see the problem in order to fix it...... so please try it from home (or somewhere where it's not linked to the SD infrastructure). Thanks !

Currently unable to update my France AIP data because there is a 17MB file (2018-217 creation of 87 Temp restricted areas) that the update cannot get past, so this is a big problem for me. Updates start quickly but then slow down to virtually a standstill. Being of technical background, I'd say there is throttling in place on downloads at the back end. Please can someone look into resolving asap as this is causing a big problem. Thanks!

Group: Forum Members Posts: 3, Visits: 15	+x Thaler - 10/27/2018 7:28:55 PM Since the latest update of SD and iOS I have a problem downloading/updating AIP-data. I encounter the issue both on an iPad 4 mini as well as on an iPhone 8. Both devices have the latest iOS 12.0.1 and the latest version of SD 3.10.5.134. Also, I encounter this regardless of the WLAN or internet connection used (home, two different offices and hotel). The download of the AIP does work but is extremly slow when trying to download files via WLAN. I tried a few combinations in order to get closer to the problem: - Time required to download AIP-files into the PC-version of SD via a DSL-connection is as normal. - Time required to download AIP-files into phone and tablet via LTE works normal (considering the amount of data to be loaded this is hardly a permanent solution). - Time to download updates into other apps on the mobile devices via WLAN is normal. - Time to load and open large e-mail attachements on the phone and the tablet via WLAN is normal (5 seconds for an 8MB file). - Downloading AIP-files via WLAN into SD on the mobile devices takes forever (in excess of 45 mins for a 4MB-file). I have tried to download different files in different country AIPs with the same result to exclude that the problem is with a single file. The above applies both to my iPhone as well as my iPad so I presume the problem must be somewhere between iOS and SD as the WLAN-networks and DSL-connections seem to be fine and the download of files via LTE into SD also works as normal. Short of deleting SD and re-installing it (which might become troublesome in case I thereafter still cannot load any AIP-date): Any thoughts appreciated. I encountered the same problem. Download stops at big files bigger than 1.000 kB. I could force SD to continue download by stopping all other apps (double click the home-button and swiping away all apps including SD) and then restart SD. This works some 100MB until it needs repeating the procedure. Download of single files, even big ones, was never a problem.
