With all due respect, the answers and links do not address, nor fix, a problem that has long existed with the distribution of adobe apps using the creative cloud desktop app: it is abysmally slow. Period. It downloads at speeds far less than ANY other downloads from any other servers, web-based or otherwise. This is widely documented and a complete frustration to users of Adobe products. How slow? <5% of the throughput of my other downloads. This slowness occurs day or night, regardless of computer or laptop used, Windows or Mac. It is not a slowdown in my wireless network nor in my ISP's servers. If so, the slowdown would be seen when downloading other apps from other vendors' servers. I have looked at the link with suggested download times, and the suggested times are far faster than what I have ever achieved from the creative cloud desktop app, and I have been using CC apps from their very earliest days. The other links that contain troubleshooting for downloads primarily deal with failure to download, not slowness. It is clearly a problem with either the desktop app, your servers, or both, and how they interact with most users' setups. And no, it's not a firewall problem, as I have tried with all firewalls (including the router's) turned off. Sorry to vent here, but the replies I have consistently seen from Adobe all seem to imply that everything is working fine from the Adobe end, and that it must be a problem at the user or user's ISP end. Give us a little credit. When the ONLY app that has this incredibly slow download throughput is Adobe's, we don't have to be IT professionals (and yes, I am one) to figure out where the problem lies.
