Extremely slow downloading speed from Adobe Stock

My freelancer is facing very long download times for simple jpegs on the exact same machine he was able to download the entire CC suite in moments. Clearly, his connection is not the problem.

Is Adobe Stock throttling download speeds for certain IP ranges? We're in different countries, and I'm not experiencing the slowdown.

@weccleston ,

 

No, there need to be a different issue. I could access stock without any problem for the last 7 years.

Same for me today.  AT&T Fiber.  Downloads of over a gig take seconds on any other site.  2 hours on Adobe Stock.  Clearly, if you google it, this has been an issue for over a year.  It's not suprising that technology requires troubleshooting periodically, but for something so fundamental to be so broken for so long, it really devalues Adobe Stock for all of us.  Steers me more and more to iStock and Shutterstock.

I have the same problem. Top download speed from Adobe is like 18 KB/s.

There is no slow down (throttling) from Adobe's side that I'm aware off.
