ABSTRACT:
A method for providing a low fidelity alternative until a high fidelity experience becomes available is provided. Upon detecting a need to download data, a download manager determines a download priority for downloading the data. The download priority specifies an amount of a low fidelity representation of data to download prior to downloading a high fidelity representation of the same data and any remaining low fidelity representation of the data simultaneously. The download manager then downloads, for example, from a content server, the low fidelity representation of the data and the high fidelity representation of the data according to the determined download priority, thus allowing the low fidelity representation of the data to be used until the high fidelity representation of the data is downloaded and becomes available.
