How are you all seeing percentages and time remaining? All I have is the Lion icon in my dock with the small bar.

Moving along acceptably here. I'll have to pause in a bit when I go to work, and the WiFi there is far slower, so no clue how long it will take.

And I was wrong, it WAS available. Apple just didn't bother putting it on the front page of the App Store. Which seems a bit odd, but maybe that will keep the download traffic down... People who aren't smart enough to use search won't know it's there. LOL

It keeps saying "Not available" when I click buy.

Also noteworthy is:

New Mac Mini's
White Macbook is now officially phased out
New Macbook Airs

Quite a day.

Sure it's available... Not. Can anyone else see it? I've been checking for the last couple of minutes, and there's no Lion, unless they failed to post it on the main page (highly unlikely).

They've not got it on the front page yet; try a search and it should be there.

I'm getting it fairly fast, should download it in about 20mins in total (UK).

Ok so I already have the GM seed installed and when I go to the Lion page on the App Store, the button says "Install" rather than "$29.99" … pretty sure that confirms the build is the same.

"Your payment method was declined."

Damn. I guess I'll be upgrading next week. Blown my budget this week.

Still can't download in Canada. I've been trying since 8:31 EST. I don't think it's a bandwidth problem; I suspect it literally never worked at all in the Canadian store. Anyone in Canada actually successfully start a download?

Oh well, I guess I'll try again this evening.
