LOOOONG download times

[BlackFalcon448]

When I started my download it said it was going to take about 8 minutes. At this point I am 302 mb in and it says 72 minutes remaining. I'm curious about what kind of download speeds everyone got.

Think about how many people are DLing this update right now...

 

[Redjac]

I didn't time it or anything, but I'd say about 15-20 minutes for me.

 

[ibcj]

I started an hour ago and it still says 13 minutes...the good news is that it is moving.

 

[spacehog371]

I'm downloading 888mb of updates through software update right now.

Mine says "About 63 hours."

458KB in after 5 minutes.

I have also been waiting for a long time and its still going. Now of course they likely wouldn't, but if they had a p2p seed going this wouldn't be a problem for anyone.

[MaxxTraxx]

It only took me 10 minutes to download.

When I upgraded iTunes last night, it started going really fast than about 5 minutes later it went to 3 minutes remaining to 45 minutes. So I closed it and restarted and it came down in 6 minutes or so.

 

[Hisdem]

Right at launch mine started at 1MB/s but now it won't get past 70kb/s download speed. 2 hours remaining. Has been 2 hours remaining since the 50mb mark. Now I'm at 300.

 

[smotheredhope]

That was my first thought. It would also greatly lessen the load on their servers. There could even be an opt-in for background seeding during normal use for us good samaritans out there.

 

[snowydog]

Why are some people like 73 hours etc? that's crazy

Mines 83 mins left and I started about 10mins ago (when it said 2 hours, but clearly half an hour hasn't passed in 10mins)

 

[asaeta]

Only took about 9 minutes for me, but its taking foooorever to back up my phone

 

[boy-better-know]

17 hours. Bloody maintenance at my local exchange arrgh.

 

[iAmAnApple]

Haha. You should be happy. My iTunes says 4.2.1 is the latest version. You guys can at least download it.

 

[Shearwater]
