Extremely slow download speed in App Store

Hey community I know this is kind of popular topic, but.

Yesterday I had to buy new mac book air as a hardware upgrade due to working reasons (my previous one couldn't pull out tasks anymore).


First thing I need as a developer (to start working) are developer tools that coming along with Xcode.

And here's what i see: App Store suggests me to wait 204+ hours (more than 8 days) to download application of size of 12.7 Gbs!

With download bandwidth of 275 mb/s!

Is this a kind of April fools joke? But it's 4th of April already!


Can someone do something about it? 'Cause in working-hours-wise price of this mac book air will increase dramatically!


You can find screenshots with proofs below.


Thanks in advance and I hope to see some solutions earlier than in 8 days.

Hi mhlmhlv,

Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!

We understand that it's taking longer than you'd expect to download apps from the App Store on your Mac.

To start, we'd recommend that you test your networks responsiveness as outlined here to help isolate this behavior further: Test Wi-Fi networks with Apple Network Responsiveness

You can also run a diagnostic test on your network: If your Mac isn't connecting to the internet over Wi-Fi

Use the built-in diagnostic toolsWi-Fi Recommendations. Click Wi-Fi  in Control Center or the menu bar and check for a menu item named Wi-Fi Recommendations. If you see it, your Mac has detected an issue and has recommendations. Choose Wi-Fi Recommendations to learn more.*Wireless Diagnostics. Press and hold the Option key on your keyboard while clicking Wi-Fi  in Control Center or the menu bar, then choose Open Wireless Diagnostics from the menu. Learn more about using Wireless Diagnostics to analyze your wireless environment.Wireless Diagnostics window, showing diaganostic results

We hope this helps.

Cheers!
