What minimum internet speed is required to download Photoshop without being timed out by the server?

I experienced a spectacular crash and blue-screen freeze while attempting to download the creative cloud from a hotel wifi system.

Since I don't want a repeat of that calamity, I suspect I was timed out but would welcome input. The hotel has about 1 mbps internet speed according to speedtest.net.

I'm currently working in China but live in Atlanta, waiting to return home to download isn't practical.

Zaphod922 there is no specific bandwidth requirement but if there is enough failures then the download will eventually be canceled.  Perhaps a coffee shop wifi hot spot to download the applications?

As an alternative you can download the base installers from Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools.  You would still need to download the updates but having the base install in place will reduce the downloads through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.
