Available to download... Sort of. (update) installed

[peteypab2133]

Update:

at 8:30pm EST it pushed the Safari update to me. Immediately after installing it, it allowed me to start the Big Sur update.

Here is is 9:15 and im up and running. So 45 minutes total time from start of download to back to working.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------



I have gigabit internet at my house. Average 650-750 Down and 800+ up. Safe to say there are probably a lot of people connecting to this at the same time.

Same here

I am in California and it still shows RC 2.

Doesn't matter how good your connection is if the one at the other end is sh!te

Same here in the UK. It's pathetic and I too am on high speed fibre to the premises.

[Theophilos]

Seriously, wtf is this? I'm on 300 Mbps down and mine says two days. This is ridiculous and one of the worst Mac OS launches that I can recall.

 

[Nikiforidis]

Mine is stuck here for like 30 mins. Does anyone know how to reset the download process/delete the file so I can start over?

 

[WRXiceman]

Same here, in the UK with FTTP. Showing "About 2 days remaining" 🤦🏻‍♂️

 

[AltecX]

I'm seeing the same as the rest of you.

I did that on my last mac. I vowed to never try that again based on what the outcome was. (lost a lot of stuff to say the least). Edited: i should have mentioned it had downloaded already and was trying to install when I stopped it.

1 day. I stopped the installer. I've waited 4 months, so I think I can wait until the weekend. Maybe it'll only be 12 hours then (full disclosure - my internet connection is also terrible!).

 

[Crazy Badger]

They should go back to shipping it on those silver round things. Would be much quicker!

Thanks for letting me know. It is actually moving now(veeeeeery slowly), I guess I have to wait, if it keeps that way the download will be over next week.

Days. Also seems to restart completely from scratch if you stop and start.

They could sign the binary and have the internal distribution method use libtorrent. Why they haven't done this already, I have no idea.

 

[wills11]

NYC with 63 MB of 12 GB after 15 minutes. At this rate, I might as well be downloading 11.1 now.

And it would seem that I could actually walk over to the server and pick up a USB drive faster...

 

[liudayu]

Seriously what the actual f*** with this downloading speed...

Same here, stuck at 188.7MB. It's faster to drive to Apple HQ to get an install driver.
