A trillion-dollar company, everyone. Cheaping out on servers... 🤦♂️
Maybe PC guy is hand delivering the update to everyone
Does anyone know where it stores the temp file during download? I'd like to remove it via the terminal to get my 12GB back before trying again.
Tried /library/updates but nothing there of any real size.

Same here, I can't complete the download, it gives me an error:
Can't start the download anymore now.

Can we at least get an email or notification once this is fixed? I am tired of looking every now and then if the "Installation failed" message will not show up this time.
And on the same day, iMessage just won't activate on my new iPhone. What a pain. Not a smooth transition day.

Hmmm. . ., possibly Apple servers are under an attack. Ransomeware?

Anyone else's computer acting buggy after failing to install and then restarting?
I’m in Australia and only took seven minutes to download not sure what the rest of the world is doing but obviously we got it happening here. And they say we have bad NBN Internet. 20B29
Anyone else having issues in general - forget downloading, I can't open word/excel when connected to the internet. Is MacOS really reaching out to apple servers every time i launch an app?
Must be directly related to the number of daily COVID cases.

It seems like finally someone came up with an idea to fix the server overload problem.
My install went fine, with no hiccups so far.
Yes my MBP just froze. Seems to be alright now after rebooting.
