I am facing difficulties downloading with the Adobe Download Assistant.

Question

I'm having the same troubles... can not install Flash Professional.. had no issues installing many others packages a couple weeks ago.
been trying since yesterday to get this installed and just keep getting errors in Adobe Download Manager.
I think you guys are having problems with Akamai ... that's my 2 cents.
why aren't they fixing this?

Answer 1

actually Jeff, it was the Adobe Application Manager.. my mistake.
however, I get the same error as others have been seeing:
"retrying..."
"unable to reach adobe servers. Please check your internet connectiviity, firewall settings, and try again."
sometimes it will get to 1% sometimes it will get to 2% and continues with the error messages.
the pdapp logs show these.. alot:

when I watch the program with Process Monitor, the application just sits and spins doing this over and over:

connects/disconnects from Akamai, getting basically nothing.. then logs it, and rinse and repeat.
