Why does solar data take so long to load?

Post by WA2SQQ »

Offered as a general observation comment.
The latest version seems to load up fairly quick, but when it comes to “loading solar data” it has taken as long as 25 seconds to complete this last step. While I do use the Propagation feature, it is seldom used right at start up. It would be helpful to have an option to allow the user to delay this last download by, say up to 5 minutes – selectable in 1-minute intervals.

I’m not sure if the lengthy load time is due to a large amount of data or a slow server which provides the data.
