Just picked up a 4,1 mac pro recently and would like to upgrade it to 5,1. I've registered with Netkas, but haven't received approval for a few days now. Does anyone have the files they can upload to dropbox or any cloud sites?
Got a tip for us?

The same thing happened to me. I registered and nothing happened on the first attempt.
The problem was that I chose a user name that is too 'common' or 'simple'. They think it's a spammer.
Try to register again---this time enter a username that is 'complicated'.
Thanks, I tried registering again yesterday, but server was down. I thought my username was unique enough. "celledal" what do they mean by complicated, celledral297dragonballz ?

Just registered again with a ridiculous name and was activated immediately. It's probably bc I used a gmail acct this time and not a yahoo.
they want a number, a capital letter, a special character so:
$CeledraL4
would work. just guessing
My 'accepted' username had 3 capital letters and no numbers or special characters. But my first attempt-- Studio K --must have been too 'basic'.
Thanks for the help guys. I was able register and get the download and is now running 5,1 Now the real fun begins.
Read this article on yourdailymac.net that was posted May 12, 2011. Note toward the bottom of the article, they give you both a direct link (no registration needed) and a link to netkas (registration needed) for the firmware tool.
