Large Downloads over VSAT

(imported topic written by mikeburns7)

I am looking to send a 130mb package over a VSAT connection which I calculate would take approximately 10 hours.

With VSAT not being the most reliable connection, I believe that there is a high possiblity it will drop the connection more than once during a 10 hours time person.

Is it possible to create a fixlet or task that will begin a download and if the connection is lost, it will pick up where it left off or does BigFix patching not function in this fashion.

or should I look into different means of sending this package?

We copied 1+ GB over VSAT with no issues…except time of course. Took approximately 5 days. Hope that helps.

Good to know.

Maybe you should walk a CD over, might be faster :wink:
