The problem is the shown in the Monitor, very intermitted download - I started 1 1/2 hour ago

Oh good. My installation failed and is going to start the download over.

Smooth as usual, Apple.
 
Terminal is telling me:
Code:
Scanning for 11.0.1 installer

Install failed with error: Update not found

And, the System Preferences is telling me that I have no updates available. I'm on RC2....
 
Mine's all over the place… It started at 2 days, then it got stuck at 60-something MB, then zoomed to 2 hours remaining, and now it's sitting at a solid but bearable 5 hours. Meh. I'll leave it installing on my iMac while I go to class tomorrow, I guess (my MBP, which I'm taking with me, will still have to wait for dosdude1's final patcher and some testing to see whether WiFi works decently or not… As for the last-gen white MacBook I keep as a backup, which is also maxed out and running Catalina thanks to his patcher, I don't even know if it will ever run it decently with graphics acceleration).

Mine was stuck for awhile, but it started downloading at a moderate pace until it got to 2.37 GB. now its stuck at 2.39 GB. why couldn't apple stagger this rollout?
 
Gutted my MacBook Pro Retina 2012 is not getting this...
I know it's 8 years old, but it still runs Catalina so well, can't really understand what's the limitation with Big Sur!
 
Time for the yearly clean install and purging of unused apps (and those that have been consumed as new features)!

Maybe a worthy topic for a step-by-step guide?
I don't get this, I have been using OS X/macOS since the first 10.0b, almost 2 decades ago, I never ever reinstalled, I installed in place aka Updated/Upgraded, if I got a new mac I just use CCC to copy my old system bit by bit to the new machine.

There is NO need to reinstall every year upon a new release..none..nada..niente..
Heck, it's never needed, macOS is easily repaired in the event of problems unlike some other Oses.
