Hi. When I use Adobe Premiere my internet dies. I cannot download anything fast. Internet slows down. It is because of Premiere. I know because I tried many times. When I start a download and the internet is slow I closed Premiere and at that second my internet becomes faster again. The difference is really big. 100 kb per second to 10 mb per second. I couldn't fix that. I limited Adobe's RAM usage but didn't work

Hello, I know this is a year old post, but was hoping to see if your issue was ever resolved? I am experiencing similar problems with Pr. 

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi ​@galvanalejandro,

Can you provide any details about your system and media? Anything we can go on?

Thanks,

Editing on a Lenovo Legion 7i 10th Gen, 64gb RAM, 1TBx2 SSD’s

Adobe Creative Cloud v6.10.0.252.3

Premiere v26.3

Spectrum internet “GIG” service. Hardwired to the computer, but same issue on WiFi.

Editing all 1080 footage with occasional 4k footage, but my job does require me to download and upload multiple video files in a single day. So this is super frustrating. I think I changed all the settings I could to keep the laptop from hibernating my internet connection, but it still does, especially during the daytime.

 

What made me say that it could be Pr, was because during the day I did some test without restarting my computer (which I normally do, in order to get my internet back up to normal) and I noticed that when I quit Premiere and refresh my Browser my internet speed would jump to the 700’s down/30’s up, but then when I would start editing and uploading a file in the background, that file speed drop drastically to maybe under a meg. And I did the test twice, and it behaved the same both times. But at nighttime it seems to be fine, so I'm very confused.

 

Thank you, I’ll appreciate any tips.

Is this the case with all browsers? (In other words have you tried different browsers?)

What is your computer? Full specs OS/CPU/RAM/GPU, and how many discs of what type does your computer have?

 

What kind of media, and what effects, are you using in Premiere?

 

With that information we could give actual advice rather than guesses. But my guess is simply that Premiere takes  a freaking TON of computer resources to operate. And perhaps, if your rig is to the minimalist side for hardware, with Premiere 'active' your computer doesn't have the resources to do much else period.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

No, I don't have any media stored online. I mean I open Premiere Pro and then internet in my computer collapses, I can't download anything. I generally can't enter even websites.

Yeah, I understand. Never easy to diagnose these things from a distance.

What happens if you disable Internet access and then launch premier?
Wondering if you get a error message of any sort

never seen this behavior.    Do you have any media stored online such as dropbox, icloud, etc?  If so, that could be the problem and it's never a good idea to work this way.   Unless you've invested in a cloud based shared media solution, this is not a practical way to work
