Extremely Slow Lightroom Classic Migration / Upload

I see that numerous people are all having the same problem, but I also want to formally report that the speed of uploads in Lightroom CC is atrocious. 

I have a relatively small catalog that I migrated from Lightroom Classic consisting of about 8000 photos. Lightroom CC has been syncing for almost 3 days now (non-stop) and I would estimate that it is maybe 15 to 20 percent- and that estimate is probably overly optimistic.

I have a 100/30 mbps internet connection that is free and clear for Lightroom CC to do its thing.  At this point, I can't tell if it is just stuck on something or actually this slow.  I have tried closing/re-opening LRCC, rebooting my PC and nothing seems to improve the situation.  Task manager in Win10 says I have outgoing traffic at a rate of about 5-6mbps, which is well below the capacity of my internet connection.

Hi Keiths,

We're really sorry to hear about slow syncing issue with Lightroom CC, could you please let us know which exact version of Lightroom CC you're working on and which operating system are you using?

Also, could you please have a look at this thread and let us know if it helps? CC Sync is too slow!

Regards,

Sahil

I have been in contact with a customer agent because of the extremely slow migration speeds. I have gotten the answer that migrating a catalogue of this size (8000 pics/25mb each) will normally take 20 days. That is 5.5% of my yearly Lightroom plan where it is functionally unusable (does not run in the background, cannot turn off computer). It seems from your answer that this may be wrong.

Is it really supposed to take this long? And why on earth is the migration process not designed to run in the background?

Best,

Christian
