So I’ve been trying to download the new public beta and keeps saying it will take three days to download. I’ve delete the profile and try to re-download the software and still says the 3 days. Anyone else having issues with downloading the public beta?
 
Have you tried leaving it running for more than a few minutes?

My downloads from their servers typically start out with some high number and then quickly reduce to a "normal" waiting time.

PB for me said 2 or 3 hours initially...a minute in, that was down to 45 minutes...a minute after that, less than 20 minutes.

This^. Give it some time. The initial download estimates are often inaccurate.

I’ve given it a full day and just sat there still saying with 3/4 days until finished downloaded
 

What do you see if you run a speedtest from that device? I just downloaded the Beta yesterday on my 2017 iPad Pro, and despite it saying 20 mins at first, it actually adjust and took maybe 5 minutes to download and start installing (my internet is 500/50).
