10 minutes for me but things are slowing down so can guess servers are slowly getting owned
Mine stopped at 2.85gb's.
My free Up To Date copy redeemed, and downloading at 50 Mbps. Will be done in a few minutes
Apple Servers *won't* get hammered - it's hosted globally on a CDN. Mine is downloading from a server 3 hops away in Hong Kong owned by the ISP I'm with.
lucky you
So who is doing a upgrade and who is doing a clean install?
I'm not sure yet I wiped my MBP a few months ago and reinstalled Snow Leopard so might just do the upgrade then if I have any problems will do a clean install.

I did a refresh of the page and it came up. I bought my iMac in June after the announcement. Put in the serial number obtained from System Profiler, my purchase date, and point of purchase. I got an Apple Store order form that included my credit card but the price was free. Enter the order and there is a tiny redeem code in the ordered product box. Copy that number then click on the link that takes you to the App Store application. Enter the code and the download will begin.
I guess you're paying extra for the Apple branded drive
I believe they are trying to discourage that behavior
It is also probably aimed at those upgrading from Leopard. There are very few people without access to good enough broadband or access to an Apple store.I presume it is still usable by every Mac sharing your Itunes account, so it is a bargain compared to Windows.
Thank you, jackrv.
2.16 GB of 3.74 GB, so maybe it'll finish by the time I leave for work.
To those who are asking "what if you don't have high speed internet," you CAN go buy it and download it from the Apple store, I believe. I mean the PHYSICAL store. You have to take your computer with you, I think, but you can use their internet.

OH FINALLY AFTER A FEW RESTART OF THE MAC APP STORE IT FINALLY DOWNLOADS WITHOUT THAT ERROR!!!
just gotta be patient i guess.
YEPPIEEEE!!:
In the press release it says you'll be able to get it on thumb drive in August for $69.
In the keynote they had said the app store would be the only option, so I wonder if they changed their minds due to complaints.
Except for the fact that it's a hackintosh.
I have a i7 hackintosh and had the same problem despite meeting the other requirements, so I think we'll just have to sit pretty until a workaround is found.
It's on the featured page though. And there's the Ozzie flag at the bottom.
