Very slow download from Mac App Store

Same problem here in Paris. Very, very slow download, then suddenly fast, then very slow again… No problem with my ISP or connexions: Full speed (± 200 Mb/s) on every tests, sites, files, everywhere else than on Mac Appstore.

Further more it seems the problem leads to corrupted files when a download succeed: it occurred 4 times when trying to download OS X Yosemite within the last 3 days.

Seems like the problem is still occurring. I have a download speed of 100mbps via speediest.net and have tested downloading from website which works perfectly, but when downloading from the App Store, it's taking more than a hour to download a 54MB app.

Cheers,

Yes, the problem is still occurring. We also have an average speed of 100Mbps (tested on SpeedTest.net) but we only get an average of 100Kbps form both the Mac App Store and the iOS App Store. Nothing else is affected. Browsing, Mail, Netflix, Stan are all in excellent order.

Apple Tech Support suggested I call Telstra. Telstra have suggested I take my devices into Apple to get checked. Sorry Telstra, but I won't be taking in 2 x iPhone 6, 2 x iPhone 6Plus, 2 x iPad Mini, 1 x iPad 2, a MacBook Pro and an iMac to all be tested for the exact same issue.

I have also tested the connection from my iPhone 6 to the iOS App Store via 4G with the same results.

Hopefully, they will fix this before El Capitan is released tomorrow.

I am from Malaysia and using 8Mb streamyx but seems like i cannot download XCode 7 at all, speed is between 10K/s , what the hack happening....

Hi,

I live in Malaysia using TIME fiber broadband, after upgrading to iOS 9.0.1 very slow download from app store, its been more than a hour only 5-6 apps downloaded. I tried in my Macbook appstore its taking more than hour to download 200mb update of itunes.

I tried to restart my router & flush DNS, still the same slow download. My other browsing are fine like peer-peer download or youtube.

I reported same to my ISP , they said they will investigate.

Please let me know if anyone solved this problem of slow download, most of my downloads on iPhone 6 are struck not able to use them

This is impossible. I'm getting El Capitan now, it needs 20 hours to update.

I have a 20Mbps line as stated before. I'm on UniFi. This has gone on long enough. There is nothing with my line. Just did a speedtest, even to a different ISP in Malaysia my speed is 15-16Mbps. However to Singapore I am only getting 2Mbps max. However I am getting at least 10Mbps to Taiwan. Even connection to Thailand is getting around 10-15Mbps.

I don't know what this is indicating. Is Singapore being an @$$ and throttling Malaysian connection?

Same here: impossible to download El Capitan, or Numbers… It drives me crazy, like some people used to sing in the 80's!

Trying to get El Capitan, hut it has been three hours to get half way done.

you're doing better than me - my download still has 1 day and 12 hours to complete here. Texas with a 300/300 connection that is speedtest.net is saying is performing fine.

Got it loaded in six hours, but mail keeps crashing. I don't want to try to reload it. Any ideas?

This problem is a nightmare here in Queensland, Australia. 30min download for a 40 mb update????

Not sure if you are on Telstra, but there is definitely a widespread issue with their services documented at http://technicalnotebook.com/tips-and-tricks/slow-downloads-from-apple-on-telstr a-mobile-and-broadband-networks/, http://slashdot.org/submission/5017985/australian-telstra-customers-suffering-cr ippling-speeds-to-any-apple-service and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4j7ZSblCZJ0 to name a few.

I would love to get Apple's thoughts on the specific Telstra issue, as it seems to be limited to Telstra customers (when you exclude that some other ISPs are just suffering congestion issues... this is all day for the last 4 days).

Hope that info might help.

I'm on optus cable, and have the same issues.. paused the download to elcappitan and now it won't resume ...

I am having same issue in India. The ISP is ACT and I have a 40Mbps connection and El Captain is downloading at a speed of 100-200KB/s instead of 4-5MB/s.

Major issues for last couple of days, including any updates, app store, apple music and much more. I am in western Canada. Trying to update my iPhone and my DL time is estimated at 9 hours !!!

Hope this will get resolved soon.
