Peer-to-Peer Downloading

Optimizing content installations with Peer-to-Peer Downloading (Android Only)

One of the methods to get content onto a device faster than individual downloading is a Peer-to-Peer broadcast system where a device will download content from other nearby devices instead of the default download file server.

Make sure that all of the devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Here are the steps:

The "Sender(s)":

Install DynEd from the Google Play Store.
Start DynEd and sign in
Install all of the licensed courses
Tap info
Tap About DynEd...
DynEd will start sending out an "I have courses" message at regular intervals while the About DynEd window is open
The number of devices connected to this "Sender" will appear in the About DynEd window as "Serving # Clients"
If "Serving 0 Clients" appears, then no other devices are downloading from that device
Prepare all of the "Senders" first before activating the "Listeners"

The "Listeners":

Install DynEd from the Google Play Store.
Start DynEd and sign in
Tap any course to activate the "Sender"
If the "Sender" has the courses, a blue circle indicator will appear on the top right corner of the available courses
Tap the blue circle indicator for the course you want to download
Tap Download
Download each course. This should take around 15 minutes per course, depending on your speed and bandwidth.
You should see the "Serving # Clients" number increase on the "Sender" tablet
When all of the courses have been downloaded, the "Listener" tablet can become a "Sender" by opening the About DynEd window.
