My install of Adobe Creative Cloud is significantly slowing down internet.

Installation failed, error code 6. Wow, this experience so far is frustrating. I'm now on hold. What a waste of $%#^@&(# time!! Customer care so far really sucks.

Finally got illustrator. It took hours. I guess I should download InDesign and Photoshop while I have faster internet and see how it goes when I get home to slower internet. I live in a remote area and there is no faster internet option at the moment. They really need to make this better. I turned the sync off.

Yup... It is very very slow... I have a new computer and I am currently at a location where the internet is very fast. Where I live, the internet is very slow so I wonder how it would be when I go home. I'm at 6% for illustrator and it has been hours. It sat at 0% for a long time and I was starting to think that something was wrong then it changed to 1%. I'll have to see how this goes. I have 30 days to get my $ back if this all turns out to be more of a pain than it is worth. For the price, you'd think that Adobe would have better service. I tried to call the number I had for Adobe and they were closed!! On a slightly different note, hostgator has 24/7 service and when you call them, they are always very helpful. I was surprised that when I called Adobe, they were closed. Oh well, I really want this to work out so hopefully it will. If not, I guess it was not meant to be and I will have to unsubscribe.

For what it's worth, I followed you guy's instructions. I turned off my CC application while rendering a Premiere project. The render time dropped from 1 hour 14 minutes all the way to 30 minutes.

My research suggested conflicts with system drivers and applications, preventing it from working quickly. I don't know if this is true....it's possible since my CPU usage is still at 100%, but my mouse, keyboard, and internet sped back up after disabling CC.

I actively try to NOT use Adobe CC apps anymore, as they always significantly compromise my computer's performance.  I find myself going back to CS4 or CS5 versions 95% of the time, unless I've budgeted time to walk away, make a sandwich, watch a movie, and take a shower while they launch. 

Trial version of CC with LR and PS has slowed my computer down to a snail's pace.  I have an HP with I5, 9 G of ram, and very fast internet download and upload.  I would love to use the subscription service, but not at the expense of my computer's speed.

I am also having this issue, mainly with illustrator which won't even work if anything microsoft is open. Internet slowed down to a snails pace so I have installed superhighway, which is great until creative cloud is opened. Adobe need to help us here!

Same issue here!

Has there been any type of headway to finding a solution?

Same here.  Got on CC for the Photography package, Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC/2014. My laptop just crawls now.

I'd be great if someone from Adobe would acknowledge this issue and respond to their community with a solution.

More and more I feel as though they treat their customers as a "test environment" for their product launches.

I was very reluctant to upgrade to CC 2014 and I really wish I hadn't now.

All the apps are SLOW and have really lowered my productivity.

Many users are frustrated with you ADOBE! Listen up! Take action!
