El Capitan Release time?

[mizxco]

No it's screaming on 8.8.8.8 now, I'm nearly finished, absolutely flying.
In 5 minutes I've gone from 50Mb to finished right now while I'm typing, beautiful.

Great! You know the installation time is 15 hours right? good.

 

[RockSpider]

When it started to install it said 26minutes, I'm halfway through in 8, over half now. These SSDs sure make a difference.

You mean 15 minutes on mine Core i7 and SSD.

Horrible download speeds

 

[beebarb]

Downloading it now, not sure how long it's gonna take. Estimate says 1 day.
Not sure why, the GM candidate downloaded in less time.

Server load .. less load - quicker response ...


Check https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ for outage etc

All done, now I've just got to check to see if my beloved Windows 10 is okay in its little bootcamp.

Sitting here in Sonoma county.. haven't seen the update come through for me yet when searching for updates on app store.. but I THINK i can smell the Apple servers smoking down south. Just going to wait a bit on this one I guess.

The release version IS NOT AN UPDATE.
You have to start the download of the full installer yourself through the app store.

Its an app. You have to actually open App Store, click the large banner, select download.

Ok, now the download has more resources, changed from 5 hours to 1 hours 30 minutes (Europe)

Would there be any advantages going from beta 10.11.1 back to todays release of 10.11?

Update on how it went, got the same thoughts going.

 

[stark4]

pause and resume download do the trick. 1 day wait to 20 minutes wait and its done now.

#$@! Server load!! I don't have super-fast Internet access like americans do!
I need this file TODAY, not in 1, 3 or 6 days!!

Allow my connection to function to its limit!

 

[Synchro3]

Download completed.

 

[beebarb]

AAGH! IT'S STUCK ON 'Waiting...' NOW!!
This is the kind of **** that made XCodeGhost a thing!

Yes, bootcamp works except that I can't change to Windows boot from the Mac side, I can boot to Windows holding down the Alt key. Once in Windows I can change to boot into Mac, so just that one glitch on mine, which may not happen with you, could be just a glitch with me.

Where do you live?

 

[beebarb]

200MB downloaded before 'Waiting...' malfunction.
Absolutely nothing downloaded after an attempted restart.

This could all be solved if Apple provided officially verified torrents, or at the very least used mirror sites for downloads.

@Synchro3 Australia, won't get any more specific than that.

Try DNS 8.8.8.8 I'm in BrisVegas. Mine came down in 5 minutes after changing

That won't work. I tried my ISP, Google (what you're suggesting) AND OpenDNS. Same result every single time.

Plus, my Internet access isn't fast enough to download it in a few minutes. Hours maybe, if the servers weren't absolute ****.

That's ok.

No, not if you upgrade. It'll preserve your settings, including the wallpaper you had (not sure why you'd want to stick to the default).
