No it isn't it's incompetent programming Teracopy can manage it OK.

I was using the Free version of the excellent Macrium Reflect to backup a partition yesterday over USB 3 At the beginning it said it would take 1hr 24min. It actually took about 10 seconds less

With internet downloads the servers often serve one group of clients for say 1 sec. them another group for another sec. and then return to the 1st group for a second. This is what Firefox doesn't take into account.

Ha! Ha! That's funny

Firefox also can't work out how long a download will take even though I can do it myself using a calculator.

The JL website is independent of the stores. Stocks and prices might be different.

You can order from a store direct and it will usually be delivered by a JL van.

I once did that with a Sony TV which was out of stock on the website.

Macs might be different from PC's in the way that they use RAM, so you might not be able to compare them.

You should have used either archival DVD's or DVD-RAM which I have never had any problems with. I've always used Taiyo Yuden DVD's or Panasonic DVD-RAM.

I once had trouble reading another make of DVD but found that an old LG drive had no problems with it. (LG drives were never considered to be top quality).

Sadly DVD writers sold now days aren't very good.

A DVD media seller at a computer fair once told me that there was only one DVD manufacturer in the World, when I asked him for Taiyo Yuden DVD's.... I replied! ....... Your Wrong! ..... There are in fact TWO ... One who makes the good stuff and one who makes ALL THE CRAP YOU SELL
