It starts or seems to start, that is an icon moves into the Downloads folder, and there is a file 'Photoshop_12_LS1.dmg.downoad' created, but it never looses the .download suffix, meaning it is shown as an ongoing download, but it never completes, I had it run over night, it's 1.1GB.
Mac OS 10.11.6.
Thank you for your help!
If your connection is not reliable you may have to keep trying.

Where did you get this old version of Photoshop from?

You mean the download location? Here:
Download Adobe Creative Suite 5 products
But as said, it doesn't download. Or maybe you are more lucky...

Try using a different browser.

So I tried Firefox instead of Safari. The countdown showed initially 54 m[inutes], counted down to 51, then said it was finished after a very short time (too short for 1.1 GB). The download folder contained indeed a file 'Photoshop_12_LS.dmg' - hoewever, the attempt to open it returned 'Photoshop_12_LS.dmg image not recognized'.

Hm. You think this is the explanation, an unstable Internet connection? I don't think so. The download always comes to a halt after approximately the same time. And am downloading other stuff with no problems.

You could try downloading it somewhere else. I found once I just couldn't download a particularly large file until I changed ISP, though the old one said they had no limits.

Thank you. So I'll have to find someone with another ISP.

Or if it's a laptop, somewhere with fast free wifi...
