So, it appears that ever since I updated to Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.3, whenever I go to download apps, they take forever. I've tested my internet connection using speedtest.net and I'm getting 18mb + on the downloads. The odd thing is that downloading podcasts, music or movies goes very quickly. I've even tried to download iTunes again to see if that would have an effect. Lastly, if I update or download apps on my iPhone or iPad, they too download quickly - as they should. Has anyone else experienced something similar? If so, did you come across a fix? Any input will be greatly appreciated.
