# Technical Instructions

# How long does it take to download “Kla.TV-Offline” to a hard disk via the Internet?

## <span data-syno-text="true">1. Speedtest</span>

First do a speed test (see link below) and find out which “vehicle” (Internet speed) you have. In the table (under 2.) you can see how long it will take you to download Kla.TV-Offline at this speed.

##### <span data-syno-text="true">[https://www.speedtest.net/](https://www.speedtest.net/)</span>

On the page you press GO, the test takes a short time and then the results are displayed, e.g. as follows:

Take the first two numbers under “Download”. This is your download speed in Mbps.

## 2. Download duration of “Kla.TV-Offline”

# How does the “Kla.TV-Offline” counter work?

##### So that you and we can follow the distribution of “Kla.TV-Offline” in real terms, we have installed a counter at [www.kla.tv/offline.](https://www.kla.tv/offline) Please share your distribution there!

[![grafik.png](https://wiki.kla.tv/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/scaled-1680-/cnyrIh8s2eIvNEpM-grafik.png)](https://wiki.kla.tv/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/cnyrIh8s2eIvNEpM-grafik.png)

##### **How does the counting work?**

### a)

##### If you indicate in the form that you have *<span style="text-decoration: underline;">downloaded the archive yourself</span>*,  
then the counter counts for this information: **+1** If you indicate that you have *<span style="text-decoration: underline;">received it</span>*, it does not count you, because we assume that the person who gave you the hard disk has already recorded it in the counter. *It is best to ask if this is the case!*

[![Bildschirmfoto 2025-04-24 um 20.18.09.png](https://wiki.kla.tv/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/scaled-1680-/uI1lcNGzpl4s5Hav-bildschirmfoto-2025-04-24-um-20-18-09.png)](https://wiki.kla.tv/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/uI1lcNGzpl4s5Hav-bildschirmfoto-2025-04-24-um-20-18-09.png)

## b)

##### The number of transfers is always added exactly to the counter. If you enter 3 there, for example, the counter counts **+3**

[![Bildschirmfoto 2025-04-24 um 20.18.52.png](https://wiki.kla.tv/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/scaled-1680-/glRkt2W4TS2Ns1eE-bildschirmfoto-2025-04-24-um-20-18-52.png)](https://wiki.kla.tv/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/glRkt2W4TS2Ns1eE-bildschirmfoto-2025-04-24-um-20-18-52.png)

## c)

##### If you indicate in the form that you have already filled in the counter once and select that you have *<span style="text-decoration: underline;">downloaded the archive yourself,</span>* then the information in point a) will NO longer count. However, it will still add the number of transfers from point b) to the counter.

[![Bildschirmfoto 2025-04-24 um 20.19.53.png](https://wiki.kla.tv/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/scaled-1680-/eV9g2QXbYUZ0qQMK-bildschirmfoto-2025-04-24-um-20-19-53.png)](https://wiki.kla.tv/uploads/images/gallery/2025-04/eV9g2QXbYUZ0qQMK-bildschirmfoto-2025-04-24-um-20-19-53.png)


##### *Practical examples:*

- If someone has received the archive from someone else and **has not** passed it on, the counter is not increased.
- If someone has downloaded the archive themselves and passed it on to two people, the counter adds +3
- If someone has already completed the form, they should only record these transfers that have not yet been recorded at an earlier point in time. They themselves are no longer counted.
