Took about a dozen tries clicking on GET button, but I finally got the Download choice! 12GB! OUCH!

And, no...you don't need to be on 10.15.7. I'm on 10.15.6 and it's downloading now.

 

[alexxk]

It started for me but it got stuck at 136MB, not moving

Call of Duty Cold war launches at midnight

Just showed up!!

Up now in So Cal. It usually takes 10 mins after release time, but Big Sur took 15! Trying it first on my guinea pig - my late-2013 MBP (Retina). That one usually sits collecting dust until I need it for the rare time I actually NEED to use it. Way too nervous to install on my new 2020 27" iMac.

I am diving right in with my Mac mini server install.

 

[TJGilbert21]

Available for me now in Southern California!

 

[jw77777]

still nothing. in Washington, DC. 🤷‍♂️

 

[movieator]

Can you nerds stop downloading for a sec so I can get in on this action? 400mbps connection
here and you're all choking the servers.
Thanks.

 

[aira-mjn]

As usual, not seeing it yet.

Got mine going to apple.com -> Mac -> Big Sur -> update on Safari. the download took me to store and download started immediately.

 

[Freida]

Even though I've tested beta 2 months ago and it was very good, I think I'll wait for 11.0.2 this time as I will wait for black friday software deals (like little snitch) to catch up.

When I played with it though it seemed like a really nice OS (apart from some weird ugly icons which are still present)

 

[hagjohn]

I'm getting nothing. I'm on RC2 11.0.1 (20B28)

I finally got it by going to the Apple store. Wow, so slow. I cancelled it for now.

 

[plandersen]

I'm on Catalina 10.15.7.

So, I go to the App store. Finding Big Sur through the link (sent in this thread).
