Hello,
The answer to this question/challenge may not be easily found. We have been unable to download Adobe applications using the Adobe Download Manager or any other method except a direct download for as long as I've worked here. I'm not the IT guy, and he's stumped as well. I know it's not a computer or system issue. I mostly use my personal laptop and downloads from Adobe work just find at home, at the coffee shop, out on the street--just about anywhere except when connected to our network (wired or wireless). OK, I know this isn't enough information to help find an answer, but does anyone have any suggestions as to were to look on the network side? Is there anything obvious about the way Adobe Download Manager, Akamai Download Manager, or any other download tool used by Adobe handles connections that could be disrupted by a server setting, router setting, firewall setting? This situation is unique to Adobe downloads. We download things from other software vendors without problems. It's been an issue for a long time. I decided to seek an answer because of the pending release of CS6.
As far as download attempts, the Adobe Download Manager does nothing when it attempts to initiate a download. Attempting today, the app launches, a screen pops up with the heading "Make the Most of Your Trial." The download bar appears and shows "downloading XXXX mb - about 356 hours." And that's where it sits. It always says 356 hours, and no download. A file is created in the chosen directory usually with 0 kb, but on a few attempts 64 kb. If I walk to the restuarant down the street and use their public wifi, no problems downloading. Same laptop. Same browser window. The only thing that's different is the network. The above applies to all computers in the building (and connected to the network).
PC/Windows 7 systems, serveral Server 2008 boxes, Cisco router, --nothing out of the ordinary as far as the network.
I appreciate some direction here. I know it's not a lot of information, but a starting point would be nice.
-Hugh
