Size of the files
In the current version of RERO DOC, viewing a document implies its complete download. For a fast (or acceptable) download time, it is recommended to reduce the file size. Although the maximum allowed size is 200 MB, such large documents should remain an exception.The following table gives an idea of the download time for different file sizes and different types of connection:
File size | 2MB | 20MB | 200MB (RERO DOC limit) | |||
GPRS: mobile phone | 5min | 1h | 10h | |||
DSL Standard Min | 12s | 2min 30s | 25min | |||
Hotspot | 7.5s | 1min 30s | 15min | |||
DSL Standard Max | 3s | 36s | 6min |
Note:DSL speed estimation is based on a standard subscription (5000kbits/s maximum and 1200 kbits/s minimum), GPRS (53kbits/s) and Hotspot 2000 kbits/s.
Multivio will relax this limitation.
