Is there somewhere that i can adjust the download speed of software update, i would like to download the rest of the garageband content, its 1.2GB and i want it to download slower so i can still use the net. Is there a way to do this or a download manager i can use??
thanks

I don't believe Mac's software updater has a way to customize the downloads in the way you are requesting. You can choose to download the updates one at time which makes them smaller that way. That's a pretty big GarageBand download. Are you sure that's one download only?

If it is then you are going to have to download it when you have some downtime like when you eat lunch or do it overnight if you use your computer all day.

As a suggestion either use the 'net or download. Do not try both together as it leads to problems. And do not outlay cash on a Download Manager as none are as good as the built in manager. Avoid Speed Download at all costs!
