Apple Releases macOS Big Sur With Fresh Design, Control Center, Safari Privacy Report, Messages Updates, Maps Overhaul and More

[paaaaaul]

Guess apple didnt think "Hey lets pre seed the cdns before we release it"!

 

[thelnnovator]

looks like I'm not the only person who does this

If anybody decides to put this together, it might need to offer some decision making guidance based on risk and benefit... Answer 'why' some people opt for clean install vs 'upgrade'.

I always do a clean install, it make my machine feel fresh every year and not clogged down with random installation issues. Got my trust USB out to make a bootable install media on it... now just have to wait however long it takes to download this beast... 18 hours?

North UK here, 200mbps and has been stuck in the ~150mbs for around 25 min 😅

 

[CJ Dorschel]

You are not good! haha

Wow! Even the update is problematic. After months of development on Big Sur I’m sitting this release out.

 

[mcdawg]

Still on Mojave, Catalina was the first OS I skipped, mainly because of all the out of character complaints.

Good call, says I.

 

[albeedelacruz]

Apple should have something like P2P in place for big updates like this.

 

[laurieballard]

In the UK on the Public Beta and its just offering me the Big Sur Release Candidate 2. I have removed myself from the Beta

 

[Zetaprime]

My download stopped at 125.8. Guess I might as well forget about it.

 

[plandersen]

Bye Catalina. To tell you the truth, I wasn't really in love with you.

I'm heading towards Big Sur hoping to find a younger fresh looking model. Hopefully more stable as well! Definitely missed a little roaar, but that was as far back as in the days of the Mountain Lion.

 

[rezzo]

Brutal - been stuck here for 10 mins

Same % here, 15 min stuck

 

[tzm41]

no matter how long it takes, it will always be less time than xcode.

It's actually pretty fast this time... My download is already done.

 

[Petuhoff]

Kazan, Russia. 150 mbps, but 16 hours left to download all %)

 

[teobilly]

ridiculous

 

[Mockletoy]

Mine got all the way up to 115.3MB and stalled out, apparently for good.

Why is it over 12GB in the first place?

i had the same problem I unenroll from the beta but it didn't really removed it apparently. I tried a tip from a member here and it worked.
Here:
sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Seeding.framework/Versions/A/Resources/seedutil unenroll

500 Gbs and now down to .5-7KBs.......At this rate US vote count will be finished before my 12 GB is in 😂😂.

Should have stayed with RC2??

 

[yg17]

I think the ISP is throttling the massive traffic.

No, it's not the ISPs. It's Apple's incompetence.

 

[centauratlas]

If I'm on RC 2 11.0.1 20B28, should I see this is in Software Update at some point......?

I am wondering this too.

 

[Petuhoff]

Is there somebody, who already has got the installer?

 

[metalsiren]

ridiculous

more like inconceivable

London here - same problem. hah

 

[thelnnovator]

Stuck at 94.4 MB... what's going on Apple? Maybe they are hosting on their new Apple Silicone MacBook Air's?

 

[adrianlondon]

BREAKING NEWS: 12 pages full of posts from people on Macrumors complaining that the internet is slow, is making the internet slow.

Edit: 32 pages!

 

[Petuhoff]

No, it's not the ISPs. It's Apple's incompetence.

Absolutely

I think because it's got the intel and apple silicon code in it
