is it taking anyone else FOREVER to update to ios5?

I started updating my iPad at about 4:00. It just finished.

My Apple TV keeps failing though.

Mine is currently one hour in the "Backing up" process and have just done 2gig... At this rate, taking a backup will take 12 hours for my iPad...

I don't know what it do. If I take a full backup normally with iTunes, it take 1 hour total for everything.

Updated my iPhone 4 right on my lunch break, and it only took about 6 minutes to download the update and another 35-40 minutes to complete the process. Loving the new update so far.

My update took about an hour or so, and right now it's restoring all of my apps, settings, songs, etc.

Right now I'm almost at the end of "Restoring iPhone apps..."

iOS5 is pretty dope so far though!

My iPhone update went through on the first time. I got my iPad2 to update after only the second attempt. Loving the new OS so far.

You AL doing better then I am

Got the famous Error 3200, so like everyone else tryed the upgrade over and
over.

Finally told me my iPad did not have any valid OS or Apps and could not upgrade it???
What ??? It wiped it clean.

So now I've been running the restore option for over 2 hours.
I'm dead in the water. Can I get my paid apps back from the store
if there not in the restore?

This has NOT been a good experience today.
Any advice appreciated.

Why is it "syncing" my music and photos after it just backed up my phone? There's no need to sync anything! Just update the software for Christ's sake.
