Default Avid Application Manager causing major internet issues OS X!!

Hey guys


I always disable the Avid Application Manager but recently after installing 12.6.1 I had not gotten around to disabling it again and was having terrible internet speeds to my laptop, despite a very strong Wifi connection.

I could not for the life of me figure it out until testing back and forth with my wifes laptop and mine and hers was performing perfectly did I realize the biggest difference was hers was not running any Avid software and did not have Avid Application Manager running.

So I quit Avid Application Manager on my laptop and voila, internet speed is back to normal, I repeated testing through various reboots etc. and every time it comes back to the Application Manager disrupting my internet connection.

Here is my normal internet connection speed:


Here is the speed with Application Manager running:


FYI this is not while the application is 'Syncing' its sitting idle


The specs on my laptop below:

2015 15inch MacBook Pro
macOS 10.12.1
Pro Tools HD 12.6.1

I dont how this could even happen and I am going to test further on my end but if you havent already please disable Avid Application Manager ASAP.

I've had the same slow internet experience, even Apple TV will not work unless that app is uninstalled

I am fortunately not having these issues.

As a test, I started an internet speed test while Application Manager was running and vise versa. Both times the speed test was fine.

Is there anyone who can open a support case with Avid?
Would be great to see this one logged as a bug, because they seem to be deploying a number of bug fixes for the app manager lately.

if you remove AAM from Launch Agents Folder do you still have these issues ??? so if you wanted to use it you would launch it manually ..

MacHD / Library / Launch Agnets Folder .. remove the AAM file

I have the app running on both My Studio Mac and Main PC with only a - 2mb/s slowdown on the upload and this could be coming from one of my NAS doing some external Backup
