I'm using Cloudant and I'm struggling to pull/replicate 600 documents from server to my iPhone. First, it's pretty slow because it has to go one-document-at-a-time, and Second Cloudant was giving me "timeouts" after the 100th-or-so REST request. (I have a ticket with Cloudant for this one, as it's unacceptable!)
I was wondering if anyone has found a way / hack to "bulk" replicate when pulling. I was thinking, perhaps it's possible to "zip up" all of the changes, send them in one file, and fast-forward the iPhone database to the last-change seq.
Any helps is great -- thanks!
