I getting error code: 201 continuously when downloading/re-installing Creative CLoud

[lioneld60169841]

I getting error code: 201 continuously as I'm trying to re-install the Adobe Creative Cloud app and Adobe CC applications.  There seems to be an unspecified "problem" with the download process, though when I first installed there wasn't.  I'm re-installing because Illustrator CC always failed to download/install.  Firewall isn't a problem.  Network isn't a problem.  WHAT is the problem that prevents me from downloading/re-installing on Mac OS X 10.8??

Followed the procedure to the letter as listed step by step.  Error code 201 still persists.  This did not happen the first time I installed CC; only when I was to update the Creative Cloud app and Illustrator.  What is the ADOBE solution to this very common error?  The website I've been directed to sees like a 3rd party site.  What is the ADOBE SOLUTION to this seemingly common download/install problem?

Prodesigntools is an Indexing website , it just has mentioned the download.

If you carefully check with download link, you will see its an Adobe link.

Even sometimes based on rare connectivity issues,  for time being you can use offline installers.

Prodesigntools website is safe , you can see in below link solution 2 :

Regarding error 201  , it is necessary to check with download error logs, so that we can identify what exactly happening which is interrupting download process.

Still same ??

Try downloading Creative Cloud offline setup file :

I had this issue installing Creative Cloud again on my iMac a few days ago, and someone else on a Macbook had the same issue. We updated the OS to El Capitan and had no problems downloading Creative Cloud and any other apps after that...hopefully that helps.

Also, I read and followed steps in other threads in this forum along with turning off the firewall, switching from wifi to cable, etc. None of that worked for me. Didn't think it could  be as simple as updating the OS!
