Why is the Adobe Creative Cloud Connection speed so slow? On my relatively fast broadband connection, I can usually download 100mb apps within a matter of minutes.

I have been trying to download 8 adobe apps via the creative cloud installer for nearly a whole day. So far Adobe Fireworks is the only app that is fully downloaded and that took about 7 hours. So at this rate it will probably take ALL WEEK to get through Premiere and After Effects !

This is utterly disgraceful. Please, please sort your servers out, Adobe!

You can understand my total reluctance to download the CC 2014 updates and just feel like sitting on the CC package as is. Luckily this month I have changed to unlimited internet so I dont have to watch my download limits.

This is still totally frustrating and unaddressed by Adobe!

The download times are still a disaster. It is totally unclear why the Creative Cloud is so slow. It's almost unusable. A good idea in theory, but they must be doing something wrong.

Second all opinions here. This is unacceptable. Especially since this thread has been around for nearly a year and after ample time to fix this issue, I don't even see a single response from Adobe. I do see responses from Adobe in other similar threads (where the posters have most likely not had more extensive IT experience and aren't as able to state the reasons why this is obviously problem on Adobe's side) basically Adobe's response here is to blame the user and the user's equipment for the slow download speeds, and tell them to keep trying. This product wasn't created (and sold at a considerable price!!) so only highly experienced IT professionals with super fast networks could use it. Download speeds should at very least be commensurate with other similar services and it is clear they are not.

Same here. Ultra slow download speed only explainable from Adobe wanting me to enjoy a day off, going to the beach, or both, while I download... one app.
