Q: Software updates download is very  slow

Today I downloaded 2 software updates; OSX 10.9.5 and Safari 7.1.  The download speed was very slow and erratic.  The activity monitor showed that the process "softwareipdated" was receiving data at anywhere from 1 to 25 kbs.  My DSL connection is never very fast but typically receives 130 to 150 kbs.  Other downloading such as streaming music or video has been normal.  Any ideas why this happened and could this be a symptom of some more fundamental problem?

iMac, iOS 7.1

    Has anyone solved this?

     

    I have been getting around 0.2kbps downloading apps and songs from iTunes.

     

    I have tried everything, from switching DNS to Google/OpenDNS, rebooting router, etc. I'm getting 25.71mbps download in the internet health test. But about 0.2kbps from the iTunes store. Hours to download an app, 30 minutes to download a song.

     

    I'm not using CenturyLink, which people keep bringing up on the Apple support forums. I have Time Warner Cable, an E3200 Cisco Router, and Arris cable modem.

     

    Is anyone else experiencing this crap???

    Do not let this guy take your computer. He is investigated by the CIC (police) in Puerto Rico. Has 42 complaints in Department of Consumer Affairs. DO NOT TAKE YOUR ELECTRONICS TO VONCI COMPUTER. He does not fix your equipment, does not give the money back and hides from PR authorities. BE AWARE
