[Belazor]

Does anyone know of a country with a working CDN server? All countries I’ve tried instantly fail with HTTP 403 Forbidden now.

 

[Blowback]

Failed twice: 8+ and 11+GB. ’Fool me once.....’. Will wait until tomorrow.

 

[Unsupported]

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

I just got it too, after numerous restarts, 8+Gb downloaded, more than 2 hours trying...

 

[Aarnt]

Grrrr.... this is the 4th time, come on sleepy heads @ Apple

 

[almostinsane]

A trillion dollar company. Tri-llion.

Doesn’t mean you get to hire the best engineers.

 

[kenbewick]

starting to download again.

 

[Lobwedgephil]

Wonder if they pulled it, get error automatically now. Or all servers are just down.

 

[mrchinchilla]

Finally got to 11 GB and failed, hah.

 

[Born2Run]

Finally up to 11gb and then 'failed'... Now it's failing as soon as I click Upgrade Now

 

[maxfromdenmark]

I'm trying to download it too. The download speed is ridiculously low, I can't even watch Home Before Dark while waiting, I don't know why. It looks like the Apple servers are overheated. I will call the new MacOS The Big Sour.

 

[Chris The Bipolarbear]

On RC2 here, says I'm up to date.( I did remove the profile) Anyone can confirm it's the same build?

I downloaded it installed it apple documentation states build 20b29 rc2 was 20b28 after installation still shows as 20b28 so problem is same build.

 

[dadiy]

Got to 12.18gb of 12.18gb and after sometime it failed and restarted at 2gb.

 

[N0ughtsAndCr0sses]

Fail after fail...
Will try some other day.
I’m using the iPad Pro as a daily anyway.

 

[rldunn]

Now it won't even let me try. Just repeatedly says 'Fail' upon starting the process.

same

[Ravi_MR]

Failed third time after passing 12GB. While I am frustrated, am glad this forum exists so know i'm not the only one with the problem
Gonna sleep now. Hope there's better news when I wake up.
Was so looking forward to Big Sur and hence more the frustration, I guess..

 

[Ron21]

Did they pull the update completely now? I can't even get it to start anymore...

 

[wubsylol]

I've installed OS upgrades each release sine Lion and this is by far the worst release experience ever.

 

[tonibear817]

Just errored out for the 4th time. Now it errors out instantly when clicking: Upgrade Now -- for my wife and I.

ugh same

 

[Frankfurt]

I guess I am waiting for 11.2 before going down this rabbit hole...

 

[bronksy]

Looks like it over in the UK.

Nice.

 

[whsbuss]

So after the failure, the restart quickly goes to 2.07GB. Then stalls for a bit. Now after 6 times of failure it fails right away. Would be nice if Apple put out an announcement

 

[bugFinder]

Got to 4.5GB download....failed.....restarted at 2GB.....got to 9.5GB....failed.....restarted at 2.5GB....now back up to 5.3GB.

Tedious to say the least.

Similar experience, but at 10GB or so it starts to fail immediately every time I try to restart the download. Now I don't know what to do...

 

[nylon]

Looks like they are rebooting the servers. Failed again and 'installation failed' error. Can't restart download.

 

[Belazor]

So looking forward to Big Sur and hence more the frustration, I guess..

Yeah, that’s why I’m so upset too. If this was a simple supplemental update I wouldn’t care. I’ve been excited about this for months, only to have this fail in the worst and most annoying possible way.
I’m unbelievably salty right now.
