    Gripe: CC desktop updates are too frequent and to big

    Stevedocmaker Community Member

      I thought I might check to see if there were any updates to my Creative Suite, and once again, for like the fifth time in the last few weeks, Creative Cloud Desktop needs updating, and the files take forever to download.  Is this really necessary?

          Completely agree and criticism applies to CC apps generally. On top of it, Adobe does not appear to have invested an adequate delivery system to support the growing number of CC installs requiring these updates (and original installs). I'm setting up a new MBP now and the downloads take ages, and repeatedly fail, though there's no problem with my connection.

           

          I think they need to revisit the product concept...I don't consider it a benefit at all to be able to push a new version at any time, which is in many ways a step back from the archaic "DVD as delivery mechanism." We're constantly getting pushed minor updates that eat bandwidth and system attention that we'd rather be using to do something productive. And I suppose they're more willing to relase not-quite-there versions knowing they can update it later. Blech.
