Hi Matthew, Unfortunately, AWIPS is a bandwidth-intensive program and will need a sufficient connection in order to perform properly. I don't think you will see any improvements while still using your hotspot. You should be able to install CAVE on other machines (you had mentioned) relatively easy. We have options for both Mac and Windows on our install webpage: http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-cave/ I'm sorry I don't have something better to offer you at the moment, but currently it does need a sufficient bandwidth in order to run smoothly. Thanks. --Shay Carter Software Engineer II UCAR - Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: DZZ-515874 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
