DAZ finally fixed downloads to indicate file size!

Partially, anyway. It's not listed on the 'My downloadable products' page. But when the browser starts downloading, it now knows the total file size.

(Just noticed this downloading the new freebie for this week, The Garbage Pile.)

    It's a welcome fix...

    ...does it also give the remaining time for the download to complete?

    It gives the general time. It will be different for everyone. That all depends on your ISP download speed.

    Excellent!! I also noticed I get fast downloads (1 - 2.5mb/sec) when I download from the email link. Woo hoo. I'm a happy camper. Those slow download speeds and not knowing how long I had to endure it was really annoying.

    That's a function of the download manager in your web browser. It's dependent on the web browser knowing the total file size, which DAZ is now providing in the download content headers. So your web browser should be able to calculate this now.

    so what you all are saying is size does matter?

    ...yes it does. It's the difference of if I can DL from home or if I have to go to a hotspot.

    This is good news. Now if they would just get the Apply Coupon button to work, I'd really be a happy camper. ~sigh~

    Glad they got that fixed. I did notice that my downloads are taking forever since they fixed this. A download that would have taken 2 minutes now is taking 90 minutes. This has been the case since yesterday.

    I noticed that DAZ increased the download speed. Highly appreciated!
