Question

Adobe Podcast is being incredibly slow

Is something making Adobe Podcast move insanely slow? I have to wait 2 minutes for 5 seconds of audio to buffer out, I get error messages when I try to export audio ("Something went wrong exporting this audio. Please try again"), and when download does work, I have to wait 3 hours to download 65MB? I've really noticed the slowdown over the last few weeks, but today's speed is on another level.

 

My internet speed is fine, all other sites are working, all other Adobe Apps are working. This is not workable- what's going on???

    Same issue, all of a sudden it is acting incredibly slow.

    I have tried

    • Switching internet connection
    • Switching browsers
    • Trying different extensions of the file
    • Tried different file types
    • Tried different devices

    Please help, I am a premium user and this is incredibly frustrating.

    The download is almost not working at all - 13kps download to 0 - taking 5 hours to download a 15meg file. Not sure what is going on. It nearly impossible to use. 

    Good work Adobe.

    End of January, 2026...same issue. All other platforms are loading/functioning fine. Only Adobe Podcast is stuttering and buffering. Impossible to edit when the site needs to buffer every 5-6 seconds.

    Still running slow, taking hours to download of a video that is less than 1gb. It takes just a few seconds on any other platform to download a file that size but with Adobe Podcast there are severe delays. Any resolution on this Adobe?

    Hi @Serendipitous_Eagle5C2E thanks for tagging me here! We had a brief outage earlier this week on Tuesday, the 9th. Are you still running into these issues? Let me know and I'll be happy to help!

    Yes. The site is loading but intermittenly going into long load times. Unpredictable behavior. The download speeds are also extremly slow.

    Same issue here. Tried on Chrome and Safari, and tried restarting my computer so it has to be on Adobe's end.

    Same issue here, seems like a server problem on Adobe's side.
    Maybe to many users at once?
