Downloading 10.7.2 in Australia 14 hours remaining lol getting thrashed. I should be able to do 1.2 gb in 15 mins with my connection.
 
Wonderful day! Just started download (716MB).
The first 300MB went very smoothly (2-3 min), slowing down now though.

Looking forward to playing with it. Thanks MR for reporting! :)
Good luck everyone with getting your copy!
 
Quick question

My MacBook Pro is in shop, could I use another person MacBook and download iOS 5. Please forgive me if this is a very basic question. I want iOS 5 and don't feel like waiting for the pro to be fixed. Please answer or a potential work around ???? Anything please.
 
I have the GM installed and this version seems to be the same build. But if you try to check for a software update from within iOS 5 (GM), it says the service is unavailable. Anyone else having this problem?
 
AppleTV experiencing difficulties

I got "update unsuccessful", then tried again and getting "The AppleTV update could not be downloaded at this time". It remains unavailable for download.

Did Apple realize there's a bug at the last minute and pull the release? Seems like it.
 
well OS X update is 888mb and 10mins away but IOS 5 has gone from 30mins to 2 hours .... loooong night ahead here in the UK
 
Is there a way to do a clean install?

There is, yes. Copy all your pictures from your iPhone. Backup your contacts to outlook, etc. I even took screen shots of my iPhone the way i have my pages laid out now and save those to my computer. After installing iOS 5 tell iTunes you want to set up as a "NEW" phone.
