The time to download a magazine can vary widely. Three factors influence the duration:
- Speed and quality of the network connection
- Number of pages in the magazine issue
- Type of magazine
- Network Speed & Quality
Generally, the faster the network connection the shorter the download time. Wi-Fi is fastest, 3G the next fastest and EDGE the slowest. If the device is an iPad without cellular connection or an iPod Touch the only option will be a Wi-Fi connection.
Whilst the maximum bandwidth capacity of the network affects the download duration, this is not always the case; sometimes a 3G connection will be more efficient than a slow, shared public Wi-Fi, say in a coffee shop.
