11.85GB of 12.12GB.... and failed

 

[wir43]

I'm not even seeing the update from 11.0.1 Rc2 yet!

You have to download it from the App Store. There ist no Update.

 

[MacHiavelli]

Surely this should have been released tomorrow: Friday 13th

 

[Aarnt]

Macrumors is not picking up on this?

 

[bronksy]

Was showing and downloading now howing as not available in the UK - was downloading then failed.

Looks like they may have pulled it temporarily.

Sometimes it doesn’t pay to be part of a tech nerd forum. grr All you nerds are cramping my download style.

12.18GB downloaded now of 12.18GB

 

[Ron21]

A trillion dollar company. Tri-llion.

2 Trillion dollars actually 😂

 

[f0ku5]

OK, I officialy give up for today. It's beyond my imagination why there are no problems with for example iOS updates but there are with macOS updates.
Apple is only one company I know that completely fails in terms of download speeds. This is ridiculous.

 

[flybius]

Clearly a little egg on the face of Tim and Apple...

 

[svenmany]

It failed twice for me. I think I'll just give up and try tomorrow.

 

[SuperMatt]

I got the "installation failed" message after the download completed.

 

[Ravi_MR]

If anyone has managed to get it installed, speak up please! Mine failed twice after reaching 12.18 GB and trying one last time before giving up.

 

[ganesh.raam]

what an epic f***-up!!!

 

[bronksy]

oops now it's back.

What a shower of sh**e

 

[yoak]

Im stalling at 1,87 everytime. Tried 6 times

 

[anshuvorty]

75% and counting! No fails yet!!

keeps getting a small amount and then failing. when I restart the process it seems to still use that already downloaded data as the progress bar jumps to where it was last. currently at 2.46 GB's, and it estimates 3 hours remaining for some reason, despite a speedy connection on my end.

Your connection may be speedy in general just not speedy to Apple right now due to bottlenecks on the networks between you and Apple or just their general failure to serve up a blob of data to tons of people requesting it at the same time. I'm seeing the same sort of symptoms and will just give up until the next few days when its simmers down.

Apple surprised us on Tuesday, it surprises us once more today.

MacOS Big Fail

Don’t look at it

[Red Oak]

No Big Sur for me

And yet, here you are

 

[macpanzer]

Does anyone know to where software update from Preferences is downloading the file?
I'd like to get rid of any previous bits it has downloaded before starting again.

 

[metalsiren]

yes it should be called Big Turd

 

[jhfenton]

If anyone has managed to get it installed, speak up please! Mine failed twice after reaching 12.18 GB and trying one last time before giving up.

I downloaded it earlier, and the installer launched. I quit the installer and copied it elsewhere for use tonight.

I'm currently on RC2, and I'm not seeing it in Software Update, but I was able to download it through the App Store link.
