Q: Yosemite download from App store is DEAD slow
The App store progress bar says the 5GB download will take 7-8 hours, yet my download speed otherwise tests normal at 35mb/s. I have seen other reports of this, and tried one supposed remedy - checking that CRL is set to Off in the Keychain Access, but that was already the case, and having aborted the first attempted download to try that, as well as a reboot, I now have to start from scratch again at the App Store. If someone can suggest a remedy, I'll be mighty grateful, but I'd also like someone from Apple to explain the reason for this. This isn't the sort of thing one expects from a company doing so well with its watches and phones and other kids' stuff. Is Apple trying to persuade me, a graphic designer and Apple fan for the last 25 years, twho just wants the kit to work so I can make a living, that the days of Mac computers and operating systems are over?
