That always seemed strange to me.

Yup, I can't be the only one that perpetually get's a "we're not here to help" vibe from that site.
It's like a hive-mind of house-bound Apple devotees over there, who all work seamlessly together to ensure that Apple's most involved, inquisitive, yet frustrated customers get the overwhelming sense that Apple really doesn't give a hoot about their specific problems.

Which, now that I think about it, is pretty much the exact truth.

So I guess there's that I should have considered. 😐

Yeah - it's FINALLY working!!!! In the US, Eastern Time Zone

OK, possibly jinxed myself. It started downloading without an immediate error for the first time in hours. And very fast, unlike when it was downloading before. Got to about 3.5GB and then got the error.

Working on the East Coast, US now!!

Super fast speeds too!

west coast, US, it is downloading but still very very slowly.

All I can say is keep trying. I must have retried it 30 times and it finally started the 12GB download. Their servers must be getting hammered. And it bombed with a failed message 🤣

"Dancing is forbidden!"

See if anyone gets that reference

Is that a “Footloose” movie reference?

 

[EDS66]

Just got the same error half way through download, and now back to the same error when trying to re-download. Something is still broken.

 

[N0ughtsAndCr0sses]

Edit2: Nevermind, started downloading and then error again. LMAO forget this

 

[Ron21]

That happened to me just now. I wonder if we're using the same CDN server

Super fast speeds too!

I reckon this'll go along by timezones: EST -> CST -> MST -> PST

 

[EDS66]

Still flakey. But I think...oh holy bees, it just finished and generated the install splash screen. I am going to copy the installer to a server to use on other machines lest apple has more problems.
