Full FeedWill WWDC make your ISP angry?
According to AppleInsider, build 9D32, which will become Mac OS X 10.5.3, is on track to be ready for release at this years WWDC. With over 220 bug fixes and various updates, this download is going to be a pretty large file, 416MB to be exact. However, this isn’t the only rather large update expected. There is also an update anticipated for the iPhone that will bring the App Store to the device as well as the normal bug fixes. I presume that this file will be relatively large itself, at least for an iPhone update. With all this updating going on who knows, there may even be some sort of update for other iPods also. We will have to wait and see, but I’m excited either way.
With all these software updates expected from the conference, I’m sure there is going to be a lot of traffic in the bandwidth from people downloading the new products. I got to say, I sort of feel bad for my ISP when it comes to events like this. I usually do the normal web surfing, podcast downloading, bandwidth non-intensive sort of downloading that probably makes my ISP happy with me. However, when updates like this come around me, along with many others, head over to Software Update as quick as we can click to get the new software, potentially causing a major plug in the pipes. I look forward to seeing what happens. Let’s hope you don’t get throttled!

You don’t use your ISP’s local Apple Update Server? We may not have unlimited data downloads here in Australia but I’m still yet to count any housekeeping downloads towards my monthly quota…
