How long will it take me to download this from Lightroom Downloader?

I switched catalogs last year and have been unable to use the cloud portion of Lightroom. I haven’t sync’d my catalog because there are a lot of photos I don’t have access to any more that are sync’d currently. 

I found out about Adobe Lightroom Downloader and was able to see the process and get it started. Well it turns out…

“Your Lightroom account contains 811,487 photos, 1 videos, 0 deleted photos, and 0 deleted videos totaling 21.0 TB. Choose a download destination that has enough free space to hold these files.”

 

I’ve seen people complain about 870GB download speeds… 

Is there a best practice to this? Any tips and info would be super helpful for a download of this size.

      Hi @TyyW, thanks for reaching out to the Lightroom Community forum! Here are some tips to download your files.

      1. Check Storage Space: Please make sure that you have enough local storage space available before starting the download. Since TyyW has 21.0 TB of data to download, confirm that your local drive can accommodate this amount.

      2. Stable Internet Connection: Use a wired internet connection, as it tends to be more stable and faster than wireless connections. This will help maintain a consistent download speed.

      3. Download in Batches: Instead of attempting to download all 811,487 photos and 1 video at once, consider downloading in smaller batches. This can help manage the load on your internet connection and reduce the risk of interruptions.

      Here is more information on downloading your files: https://adobe.ly/4tAxlmK. If you have any other questions or need to continue troubleshooting this issue, please don't hesitate to reach out. I hope this helps! ^CH
