anyone experiencing the same issue?
I was able to download like for about 150MB but I have to cancel it earlier coz I need to go to work after it wont allow me to download anymore...
Update: Have fixed issue. Seems Apple servers doesn't want to talk to UnoTelly DNS.

El Capitan downloaded from the "Purchased" category will be the latest and greatest version. You won't have to do incremental updates to get to the GM.
No, tested via local estate agent video since upgrading. you tube vids running fine.
I understand, but will running the installer (downloaded via Purchaes tab) install a clean version, or will it upgrade my current version of Capitan to the GM? In other words: will I keep my settings/apps like a regular update?
If you download the GM and click on install, it will update your system leaving your files and settings intact. Make sure to do a backup first, just in case something unforeseen happens.
I'll +1 for being curious about what happens when the real final goes live. Can we just upgrade via the App Store? Or do we have to clean install to get a non-beta/GM candidate?
downloading it right now on my macbook pro. Looking forward to it but yet nervous that it may screw something up.
Tried beta builds before but this is the first time on my macbook pro.

Just installed to my retina iMac, big improvement in performance of safari. Not noticed any problems.
GM means Golden Master -- that's the version that gets released to the public at the end of the month. At this point, if any show stoppers show up, there will be an update through the App Store. Bottom line: GM *** IS *** the official version.
Yes, I get that quite often. On 10.10.5. I usually open the Web Inspector, find the video and run it from there and it works fine. Really annoying. Happens often with vids embedded. E.g. on MR.
*edit: tested on 10.11 Beta (15A278b) and videos show as they should. Now I'll install GM and see how that works.
* another edit: installed GM PB and videos seem to load normally.

So is this good to install on my main machine now then? Never really messed around with desktop betas/GMs.
I didn't realize until yesterday that they called them GM Candidates. It's true that a final GM would not be a beta anymore, but we truly don't know that it's not a beta until it is officially released with that GM build number.
just a quick update. doing a time machine backup right now (found a 500gb external drive in my desk)....at least i have my coffee while time machine is doing its thing.
In Yosemite my Intel iris powered retina MBP was very sluggish in UI animations, so i had to disable transparency to make it useable. Now i can use it nd everything is super smooth. Amazing what software can do.
