Sometimes as programmers we need to download a large project from the internet for R&D or use. Often some of these are commercial frameworks or Open source projects.
Today i bought the Wing-ide 3.1.1 professional version and found the download speed from Malaysia is just 2.5kb and it will take 2 hours to download a 17 mb file.
So the trick is to use an alternate proxy site that has much faster connection to this download and at the same time a fast connection with Malaysia .
I tried : www.proxysite.org and it was fantastic. The download bumped from 2.5kb to 99kb/s.
The whole download took just 2 minutes. Now that is what i call productive bandwidth ;-)

Cool! I tried that by downloading FireFox 3 which has 7MB size. All done within a minute. Cheers!
