This whole thing feels like late 90's / early 2000's LOL 😂

You posted your serial number :/

Hi, I have tried your terminal command and I get this message "Scanning for 11.0.1 installer Install failed with error: Update not found"

Any ideas? the update is there if I choose the mac store route

Thanks

My advice would be to keep trying the command. If you are still on Catalina, it should work. If you are on the Big Sur betas, it won't work.

I downloaded around 8gb and then got an error saying installation failed. SIGH...

 

[decypher44]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Finally got to 7.36GB AND THEN FAILED AGAIN!!!!!

This is some BS.

And nothing about this issue on MR main page. There dang well should be!!

If the download fails how do you get back lost disk space from the failed download?

 

[Sass#B52]

I did say I may be wrong...

Just confirmed it

I'm now passed the halfway mark! 56% on the terminal!

Is this burst pattern download also an AMAZING feature?

Did they fix iBooks so you can once again store audiobooks on a networked drive?

A few times now I've seen mine jump one or two GB with little network activity to show for it 🤪View attachment 1661735

Mac OS..running so slow compare to the Beta....Apps taking ages to open, anyone else having issue?

 

[al256]

I'm downloading it using the curl command we use at work. IF it works, no need to use wget

sudo curl 'http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/50/49/001-79699-A_93OMDU5KFG/dkjnjkq9eax1n2wpf8rik5agns2z43ikqu/InstallAssistant.pkg' -o InstallAssistant.pkg -C -

[Rocko99991]

Fix the slow boot up?

 

[N0ughtsAndCr0sses]

Nearly there

yaaas

And I thought I’d spend the night... only 20:24 here hue hue

Has there been any public response from Apple about this?

Oh, so close!!


What the heck's going??

 

[Wagbh]

Second DL attempt fail at 5.3Go.... tired of this joke...

1.188 days left...

 

[terrywfoster]

Failing and retrying non stop for 2.5 hours now. Three Mac systems.

After the third installation failure, I'm giving a direct download through the browser a go at the same time as the normal system update. The Safari download does stop with a network timeout, but at least I can hit refresh and it picks up where it left off. URL:

"You're downloading it wrong"

 

[jphall]

Ah! the warm fuzzies! Still remember my first boxed OS X upgrade - the box for Panther looked like it meant BUSINESS! The checkout girl at PC World (UK equivalent to Best Buy) took one look at the box and asked 'What is THAT?'

Ah, yes, plunking down $150 for the family pack version for my two computers. :😁:

No. Many of us have already transitioned to Plex+Prologue for beautiful audiobook management and playback.
