I am using Chrome with AT&T fiber high speed trying to download a 5MB vector, not on a VPN with no firewall. I have followed all the suggested fixes by Adobe and nothing has helped...I continue to get a "Network Error" message after waiting for an hour for an asset to download, which is also noted by hundreds of users.  I can download in seconds from other sites like Shuttersock, etc.  This is isolated to Adobe Stock, and obviously a widespread issue affecting thousands of businesses and users. My business is at a standstill losing money by the hour.  Adobe needs to get this resolved immediately. Not acceptable for a paid service with such high brand recognition.  I'm seriously considering switching providers after this unresolved, way-too-long crisis. 🙎

Here are 2 screen shots showing assets with 52 minute download time and also eventually timing out and showing "Network Error".  These are 6MB vectors.

I did everything suggested - cleared history and cache, changed from Chrome to Firefox, bought and installed a new internet router from AT&T, rebooted the computer, and tried downloading images from Unsplash and it worked fine.

Answers to questions:

1.  ISP = AT&T

2.  Asset = photos

3.  I don't have access to a VPN

I'm on my private computer. Tried using Firefox - did not work any better. I asked several friends to try from their home computers - same problem I'm experiencing.

I can't download any of the stock images in my license history so it's not limited to an image file - it's a general outage. I even tried adding it to my library and it shows there but then the asset won't load into my .indd document. Download/upload speeds for any other service is doing fine. Issues are limited to Adobe Stock.
