2 days remaining to update?

I sure hope this isn't accurate! Trying to update from Big Sur 11.13 to the latest 11.4...

Says there is 12GB to download and 2 days remaining. I sure hope this isn't an accurate time!

If you have fast internet, it shouldn't take that long. You should see the download time remaining speed up shortly.

I have Comcast highspeed internet. Hope it speeds up soon.

Are you running a VPN?

Nope. I'm very surprise how long it is taking to download. Normally my internet downloads are very fast. I wonder if it might be just due to their servers being slammed with requests for the same file?

It could very well be a bottleneck on their side. I have experienced such but, that has usually been on release day. As long as it finishes and you are able to install, that is the main thing. 🙂 I have been frustrated at times as well in that vain.

Yeah, maybe this might explain why a lot of people might be trying to access the new OS download:

SSD Issue on ARM Macs

Because there is a huge thread now, it’ll be hard to read what is discussed about this issue and what has helped. TL;DR: Update to 11.4 Big Sur as soon as you can to solve the SSD issue. As many are already aware (and to those who are new to this issue), the problem was largely fixed by macOS...

At least your mac is updating. Mines went all the way to 12 and quit.

UPDATE: Just for the heck of it, I stopped the update, rebooted and started over - the download has been going for about 15-20 minutes so far and is currently saying "About 1 hour remaining". That's more like it! So note to anyone who runs into this - try what I did. I don't know if I just got connected to a less busy server the second time or what, but it's going much faster the second try.
