Big Sur downloaded just fine on my MacBook Pro earlier this morning and everything works; however, I came home this afternoon and tried to download it onto my iMac and keep getting a message that the Big Sur update cannot be found and that my iMac is up to date with Catalina. Anyone else seeing this issue?

I've successfully downloaded Big Sur on MacBook Pro 16 today. I had to disconnect from Wifi and restart my Mac. then I went through the steps and it took about 40 minutes in all. It is working fine. I had tried unsuccessfully more than 5 times and kept getting the message that there was an error. It all worked fine after disconnecting from wifi.

Cool! I just actually got a message that Keynote, Numbers and Pages were ready to upgrade and started that process. That was how I actually found the Big Sur update this morning - my laptop started the updates to these three apps. If it doesn't work after that I'll do as you suggest and disconnect my wifi and then reconnect...Thanks again!!
