Downloading PQ in v4.0

Recommended Posts

Downloading a pocket query in v4.0 seems to take about three times as long as the last version, even without the background image downloading - 6.5 minutes for a 1000 cache PQ. Both iPhone and iPad. Deleting an offline list takes twice as long as before as well.

My wifi connection at home seems to be pretty consistent. For comparison, I turned wifi off and downloaded via LTE. Took about the same amount of time - 6:36. For another comparison, I still have an iPhone 4S, and using Geosphere, the download c/w images was 1:56.

I just downloaded a PQ with 1,000 caches and it only took 65 seconds.

Geosphere downloads the GPX file for the PQ which doesn't include full cache data. Cachly downloads full cache data so it will always take longer but have all the data.

I tried this again last night, but first deleted the app and reinstalled it. The download time reduced to about 4 minutes. Speedtest indicated a download speed of 27.0Mbps. I tried at work today, with a download speed of 35.6Mbps, and the PQ download took 4:02.
Also worth noting, deleting and reinstalling the app got rid of a couple of other weird things.

FWIW I'm experiencing the same slower time downloading PQs.  I update my iPad — still on previous version, and iPhone — on latest version, at the same time, so it's not a network issue.  The 2 devices used to take about the same time, the iPhone is now significantly slower (twice as long?)
