• During a download, go to the downloads page under “store” and click on the dash between the filesize and how minutes it has left to display how the download speed.
• Say you want to download a song but don’t have time, find the song in the iTunes store, and drag the 30 second clip into your iTunes Library where you can purchase and download it later in one click.
