Downloading speed inside hise,

[d.healey]

@parabuh Are you able to recreate the issue on your system?

[parabuh]

@d-healey Yeah, I can do that, I'll record a video.

[d.healey]

@parabuh No need for a video, I just wanted to know if you also have the problem, because that makes it easier to solve.

So do you get the issue when you use the same download link in the browser instead of through HISE?

[parabuh]

@d-healey one more time, when i downloading file through browser (mac/win) eveything is fine and downloading file with full speed, on macos hise starting download and after few seconds slowing down. On windows eveything is fine.

[d.healey]

Can you share the link to the file?

[parabuh]

@d-healey i tested this with my friend from another country and the same issue, downloading via was slow and via browser was normal so this is not CDN or infrastructure issue.

[d.healey]

@parabuh Can you share a link to the file so I can test?

[ustk]

@parabuh it would be helpful to see how you handle the download in the callback

[parabuh]

@d-healey i sent you link on chat
@ustk im using standard Server.downloadFile method

Server.downloadFile("/" + expansionFile, {}, downloadDir,
                function() {
                    var message = "";

                    message += Engine.doubleToString(
                        this.data.numDownloaded /
                        1024.0 / 1024.0, 1);
                    message += "MB / " + Engine
                        .doubleToString(this.data
                            .numTotal / 1024.0 / 1024.0,
                            1) + "MB";
                    
                    DOWNLOAD_STATUS.set("text", message);

                    if(this.data.finished) {
	                    expansionFileDir = downloadDir;
	                    INTALL_EXPANSION_BUTTON.set("visible", true); 
                    }
                });

Thanks, I'll give it a try now on Mac and see what results I get and if I see any issues.

[parabuh]

@ustk you can see this issue here https://streamable.com/px908r

[ustk]

@parabuh Mmm... This might be related to the size of the file and Hise having trouble to cache it on mac.. But this is above of my expertise level

[d.healey]

@parabuh Yeah, I just tested on Linux and no issue. I'll try on Mac now.

This is the snippet I'm using to test (you need to fill in the baseURL and url parts).

I know of another developer who's experienced slow download issues on Mac, so this is not unique.

[d.healey]

Confirmed, I get the same issue on Mac. I also tested with curl and the download speed is good, so this is specific to JUCE/HISE. I'll see if I can find a solution

[parabuh]

@d-healey thanks for your help <3

[parabuh]

@parabuh if the file is smaller than 500 mb everything is ok

[d.healey]

Pretty sure this PR fixes it - https://github.com/christophhart/HISE/pull/643

[aaronventure]

@parabuh on macOS you can use curl with BackgroundTask to do any downloading you need.

[d.healey]

@aaronventure Do you have to link against curl in Projucer?

[aaronventure]

@d-healey no, just call curl directly using BackgroundTask, curl has been shipping with macos for 20 years now... In windows it's only been since 2019, but powershell has some native tooling for that, you can technically get away with curl now but on earlier earlier versions of Windows you either have to provide a curl install or use whatever the powershell alternative is.
