I have 8 days remaining. It's painfully so slow that I don't want to download it. :mad:

Does anyone have advice on how to speed up the mac app store? Every download from it is super slow no matter what day or time. I moved to China and have to use the United States MAS. Does anyone have any security/firewall tips or something to get my normal download speeds?

When I download software updates, they take merely minutes for 200MB updates. It's just the Mac App Store.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

There is a cache file you need to delete. I used to have that issue but after deleting the file my downloads are fast. I'll start googling for you.

Here's an article on fixing it.

Just to confirm, we are all getting this same error?

Nope. I've downloaded 3GB of 4.34GB. Downloading at 2.3MB/s at this very moment.

After getting that error multiple times I rebooted my Mac mini and started the download just fine. You guys should reboot your machines and try to download it again...

Just finished the DL. Copying the installer to my G5 server, going to create a installer for it, then I'll be back! :)
