Download from XCODE 2.4.1 from Apple's site

A few weeks ago, I downloaded XCODE 2.4.1 from Apple's site. There were some problems when I downloaded that applications. I live in Indonesia and some of the town have low-speed Internet connection. If we want to have high-speed connection, we have to pay a lot. Eventhough I use a cable modem, I just can access with 6KBps in the morning until afternoon and I can access with 10-12KBps at night 'til 7 AM in the next morning. Well I can said that you have to be patient if you want to download some applications from any sites.

When I downloaded XCODE from Apple's site, I found that it couldn't be resume after I pause. And it could stopped itself if the connection (my connection) was too low to download it. I have to download so many times and it always stopped when the connection low. I was very desperated. All I just wanted to have is a high-speed Internet connection. And then suddenly, I remembered that I've a friend who lived, studied, and worked in Canada (Calgary). I asked his kindness to downloaded it which had almost 1GB file size. Then once again, I asked his kindness to re-upload in one of the most popular file sharing's site (because I have its account and so did he).

Fortunately, he's very good friend and he said that he needed 1 or two days to donwload and re-upload it. For me, it easier to download XCODE from that file sharing's site than download from Apple's site. When I asked my friend how long it took to download the XCODW from Canada, he said that just 10-15minutes. Wew really fast ..

I just dont understand. Why Apple's Site don't make some mirror sites to download the applications (such as sourceforge.net) ?

Finally, I've got a new MBP charger

wew after I waited for almost 4 weeks, I've got a new MacBook Pro's charger. It's free because I've bought AppleCare Protection Plan (we can have our 2 years gurantees after the main gurantee). The apple centre in my town said that it was difficult to order any MBP's spare part, or accesories. If there any, there must be a spare part for MacBook. She said that the most user in my town used MacBook. And unfortunately, just a few of us use MacBook Pro. Well an unluckly, my proccessor still Core Duo, not Core 2 Duo, that still have its main problem which is its heat. What can I say. I've to use it because I've spent all my money that I've earned since I was kid.

I also claimed about my battery. Sometimes it wasn't produced energy or in the morning when I woke up and turned on the power, It wouldn't on even I've 10% battery the night before. So, I've to charged the battery before I turned on it. And now the new battery is more powerful than the old one. Thank's to AppleCare Protection Plan and Apple Service Centre ..
