Photoshop Elements 12 - Very Slow Download

Hello,
Having purchased from the official Adobe website the Photoshop Elements 12 (Mac version), I cannot wait to download it and see it in real motion.
However, the download speed is so slow that after an hour of download, the download box still indicates approx. 8 hours 50 minutes until download completion; and moving 0.1MB every second. 
Now, just tried to cancel download and restart again, but the speed is still exceedingly slow and starting all over again...  The download is not likely to be an effective one based on how it is looking now and I am feeling very concerned that after many more hours of waiting and trying by myself, I would still be disappointed at the result.  Therefore, I am earnestly seeking your support here.
I don't know if this is a global issue for all online download for Photoshop Elements 12 or it is just a stand-alone case for me. For your reference, I am using MacBook Air (OS X 10.9.4) with very good broadband internet connection. 
Does anyone know a solution to this issue?   Look forward to hearing from you and getting the issue figured out real soon.  Many thanks in advance. 

Thank you very much, Pat, for your great help.   The link has inspired me to download the trial version from the Adobe website and go from there:
"Adobe Download Assistant" was automatically downloaded before the download of the trial version began.  With the "Adobe Download Assistant" up and running, the download of the trial version took within 30 minutes.  I then got to enter the serial code of my already purchased PSE 12 right after installation of the trial version and completed the whole set-up process (without even opening or using the trial version at all).
It is rather counter-intuitive that one should start with a trial download even when he has gone straight into buying the product.  It was as if the trial version was a bridge to facilitate the official download because the trial version provided the "Adobe Download Assistant".  Maybe, it is expected that people would always take a trial before buying?  Or maybe, it is expected that most people would already have the "Adobe Download Assistant" handy?  
Anyway, I am glad there is a solution.  In this case, I think the key is to get the "Adobe Download Assistant" which comes with the trial version.  Hope this post will help others who might face the same issue too. 
Many thanks again.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 : very slow startup

    Hi
    Here is a description of my problem:
    I boot my machine.
    I start Photoshop Elements 11.
    It takes a very long time to get ready ( loading color settings and workshop modes )
    I close Photoshop Elements 11 when I am done with my project.
    All subsequent startups of Photoshop Elements 11 are very fast.
    My question
    How can I avoid the very slow FIRST startup of Photoshop Elements 11 ?
    Can I pre-load the needed services (or whatever) when I boot my machine or when I login to my user account ?
    Thank you in advance for your help

  • Cannot find photoshop elements 8 to start download. what next

    cannot find photoshop elements 8 to start download. what next
    my serial says it does;t work with Version 9… so it must be for version 8, which I cannot locate to download.
    what do I do now ????

    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

    As far as version 9 goes, if you never purchased it you shouldn't expect to be able to use it.  If you check your Adobe account online you might be able to find whatever version you purchased identified there.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.

    You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    You then need to watch this video to get hang of it:

  • Very Slow Download Speed

    Hi,
    I am experiencing very slow downloading speeds, when I am just normally downloading something in Safari, or downloading a torrent with upto 100 seeders.
    The maximum download speed I have seen on my computer is 80kb/s, which is painfully slow for downloading the Adobe trials, when they reach about 1gb.
    I have a router, connected to 2 computers, and speedtest.net has told me that my download speed is 1mb/s.
    It seems like download speeds are being restricted to 80kb/s, so is there any way to 'unlock' full potential downloading speeds?
    Any help much appreciated!

    I think you're making the same mistake a lot of people make.
    The maximum download speed I have seen on my computer is 80kb/s
    Safari reports downloads in kiloBYTES per second, not kilobits, so that 80KB/s translates to about 640 kilobits per second.
    downloading the Adobe trials, when they reach about 1gb
    Really? 1 gigabit per second? I assume that's a typo.
    speedtest.net has told me that my download speed is 1mb/s
    therefore your downloads are progressing at about 64% of maximum. That sounds about right - you won't get maximum throughput for every download - it will vary based on server location, network load and more.

  • My Photoshop CS3 goes very slow/choppy when I have a selection made.

    Hello,
    My Photoshop CS3 goes very slow/choppy when I have a selection made, with those little moving lines indicating the selection (the lines that look like walking ants). When I'm adding to the selection, it's fine again, because the "ants" aren't moving, same with when I hit Q to enter Quick Mask Mode--as long as the "ants" aren't moving, my Photoshop isn't slow. Is there any way to fix this? To either speed up Photoshop or to stop the "ants" from moving, and simply allow selections to be indicated by broken lines, but not moving broken lines?
    Thanks

  • MacBook Pro: Very slow download

    Hi, I'm experiencing very slow download speed with Macbook pro recently. Tried download the same file using a Window notebook worked fine. please help.
    I was downloading a spreadsheet from Hotmail: Download speed on Mac: 700b/s; Download speed on Window Notebook: 2Mb/s.

    That's insane.
    Are you sure you don't mean 30Mbps?
    Anyway, have you downloaded a test file hosted via ftp by your ISP?

  • Very slow download speeds with ATT U-Verse

    Hello,
    Experiencing very slow download speeds with Macbook Pro 2011, on Lion,  and ATT UVerse Max, which should allow for an avg. 11-12 MBPS speed. Instead, I get a fluctuating 60-370 kbps speed. I am not experiencing this problem on my Windows machines (Laptop running Windows 7 and Desktop on XP), it is only affecting the Macbook pro. I wonder if this issue is a known problem with ATT U-Verse and Macs, I spent hours yesterday with their support online and they couldn't help me, stating that from their side all settings were OK; the first representative from ATT re-booted the router remotely and that seemed to work for about 10 minutes, and then it went back to a crawling speed...
    Any suggestions welcome!
    Thanks

    Do you have QOS enabled in your router? Did you try plugging the win7 laptop directly and check the speed?

  • Very slow download speed with intermittent halts

    Need some help.
    I run Apple os/x latest version and have since yesterday begun to experience constant very slow download speeds.
    I have rebooted the router and I have reset it. I have tested with wireless and wired into router. No real change.
    The results are below and are pretty consistent no matter when or with what computer I test it with.
    This is very frustrating and I would like to know if anyone has experienced this and if there is anything I can do before calling for service.

  • Very Slow Downloads & Timeouts.......Interesting Info!

    Hi,
    Like many other users have posted I have been having problems with very slow downloads in the last few days and connection problems to the itunes store where the rest of the internet was fine.
    After trying disabling firewalls, upgrading to IE7 etc. etc. I tried using Anonymizer SSL to bypass my ISP and any country restrictions and create a direct pipe from my PC to the anonymizer servers in the USA. I should add I am in Japan by the way and access the US store but have had no problems up until a few days ago.
    Low and behold my download speed is back.
    I am awaiting a response from the ISP whether they have changed anything but I think it unlikely.
    So this leaves the following options for myself and other users:
    1) The ISP is capping traffic to itunes. Other American sites are unaffected so it is not a country specific problem.
    2) iTunes itself is denying a suitable level of service to users accessing the american store outside of the US based on IP address!
    These are the only two options I can think of right now. I believe number 1 is unlikely knowing my ISP but I will add to the post if that proves to be correct.
    If anyone has any more technical ideas why a normal ISP connection would be slow wheras a SSL tunnel direct to the states is faster I would be very interested to know and may help a lot of other people out who are outside the US and access the store.

    Hi spike_japan,
    Thanks for the info! However, I've been trying to find a software that does this for Mac comps, but i cant find one. Also, they only work when you want to surf the web anonymously.
    Can you enlighten me on how you bypassed your isp to connect straight to the anonymizer servers in the USA? I'm also using the iTunes store and for the past 2 weeks, i've been getting really slow downloads. I've been downloading a tv episode for over a week one - not one season, one episode. It says 80 hours remaining. So please help me out.
    I'm sure many peope are having this problem too. Thanks in advance.
