Can't download stock video footage

I’m trying to download both paid for and preview stock video, but they are taking forever to download and I’m even getting ridiculous time estimates of days! I have a fast internet connection and I’m using Chrome on a Mac. Why is this so slow? I’ve tried clearing caches and using an incognito browser

    Turn-off or postpone background processes that may be competing for internet.

    Real-time backup services, antivirus scans, or software updates can slow everything down.
