iOS 5 - is it out yet?

[jtgamer]

How have people managed to get it downloaded so fast??

I got the download pretty quick but it got stuck at 65-68 seconds for a minute.


now my phone is doing the old boot/restore thing. seems that this iOS update is a quick one today, at least for me.

They started right when it was released. My first ~300mb went very fast then it ground to a halt.

Yeah, that's what happened here as well. Rest assured, you're not alone.

My iPad is on 4.3.3. Can this be the reason why 5.0 update doesn't show for me?

 

[rogeliojeda]

The GM and the official iOS5 have the same exact build number, that's the reason why we on the GM aren't getting the update.

I also brought my MBP to work, too bad my library is hosted on a Nas!

I had to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 too before it would show.

[Tsuchiya]

Any mirrors out yet? I started my download about 30 mins ago and it went from 0 to 200mb in about a minute. I come back now and it's only at 267MB with 63 minutes remaining

I'm going out in soon to meet some friends, was hoping it would be done by then...

 

[rowley]

Downloading now ... 9 minutes, no wait 12 minutes .... 19 minutes WTF!

 

[Nuttydev]

Got to around 700mb then the network 'timed out' Have had to start downloading again.

 

[AlphaVictor87]

Woo hoo, backing up my phone! Man i hope this goes fast, i have a meeting in about 10 minues lol

 

[ziyonim58]

ok up update..

got it and downloading..

I almost done. Updating phone now. Found an easy way to speed up the download. Stopped the download and retried it again and it worked much faster and restarted from where it left. I guess it was routes differently.

Just got done downloading and backing up, now getting error message, The iPhone could not be restored. This device isnt eligible for the requested build.
