I have a cable modem at home. Connection is 155 Mbps. Used to be 50...they bumped it up last year at no charge. They now offer 330 for more money, but I'm happy with what I have. I'm with RCN in NYC...Time Warner and Verizon offer similar. Haven't used DSL in a decade. I hope you aren't paying a lot for dreadful download speeds like that. This is 2016.

The download at my home always take roughly 2 hours. I have DSL with something like 3Mb/sec download. At my main work facility it's also slow. I did work at one production company that would download really fast but that was something like 10 to 15 minutes and that's the fastest I've ever used. I'm also downloading mac installers which are a complete install and not a patch. I've never seen anything like a couple minutes from the download center. Wish I had Fios or some Fibre in my home. My option is a cable modem which I should switch to when I get the time to deal with it.

A couple of minutes for me. Certainly not hours. I don't have an exceptionally fast internet connection.On Friday, March 11, 2016, bigfish@...

I have used app manager on a work system to download the update but I don't know where the installer gets downloaded to. I feel more comfortable using the download center our of habit. I have only told the app manager to download an update on one of our systems but never followed through with whatever else is involved to have the update happen. What is supposed to actually happen if you click update on app manager? Given it usually takes a couple hours for an update to download from the download center I assume that's about how long it would take for the app manager too. So after that download how does app manager prompt to continue the update?

Meanwhile, my USB dongle is mounted on the computer -- and the very same App Manger is indicating that I have perpetual support."
