Hello, I purchased Adobe Illustrator for Mac on Sun. March 1. For the past two days I have tried downloading it many times. It will load to somewhere around 10% then stop. It says remaining time is around 160 minutes. I have let it run, but I still won't load. It freezes around 10%. I have High Sierra OS and plenty of space on my computer. I even turned off my firewall. I have tried Safari and Firefox both. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. I need this program to do work. Thanks for your time.

Where did you purchase Illustrator? Directly from Adobe?

All Adobe programs are only available as a subscription. Did you buy a subscription?

1. Confirm that your computer meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements to run the latest version of Creative Cloud desktop app and Illustrator + all other apps & services you intend to use.

2. Downloading & installing is a 3 step process.  Some apps, particularly anti-virus, can conflict with that process. See links below.

Have you checked the internet connection by downloading a different file over the internet?

Did you try a download manager to download the file instead of downloading it using a browser?

Browsers are ineffective for downloading large files over the internet.

So try using a download manager.

The OP is not using a Browser to download Adobe software. He is doing it through the CC DTA. So no download manager would help.
