OMG My El Capitan is downloading crazy fast. I'm targeting 4 minutes or less. So far 2GB of the 6GB downloaded in under 60 seconds.
Got a tip for us?

Ah see that might be why mines downloaded in under 5 minutes. I have a 180Mbps connection. Did you mean 40mbps?
Does anyone really have a 1000mbps? I don't think so. I was downloaded in under 5 minutes with 180Mbps. There's no way it would take you 30 minutes with 1000Mbps.
Just completed download and install. Took a little under an hour from initiating to complete.
Trying to decide if I want to start the download on my old 2010 mbp.
I've noticed that cdock is not working. I have it set to transparent - and it's not.

Late'08 Unibody MacBook5,1 has never ran as cool
Thanks for that! I've got one of those at work. Just completed the install but left before I could play with it.
Last week the external power supply of my Mac mini got broken.
It is from 2009 so I couldn't find it on any official channel.
I found one on eBay so purchased it today, and I have to wait next week to get it.
So, what's the point?
The point is I'm very lucky because I can download El Capitan the next week at full internet speed. THANKS GOD

Can anyone tell me if the grayscale filter works on PDF's in Preview yet? The was in the GM and every beta release. I left bug reports on each release and they were deleted as they knew about it already but it was never fixed.
Really hoping this release has it sorted.

Glad to here that Scapple is working.Up and running, but somewhat shaky experience so far. No crashes, but split screen/ full screen app doesn't work *at all* (the apps just overlap, with the back most app 'vanishing') - for example Mail and Calendar - and the new Mission Control promptly gets very confused. Photo's app isn't playing any live photos despite dozens shot with new iPhones over the last few days.
As for 3rd party, everything essential working so far: PhotoShop CC, PHPStorm, Scrivener and Scapple all happy...
Wacom drivers got stripped out as incompatible *shrug*
New Safari is great.
* UPDATE - Looks like Photos app has to do some churning to get Live Photos playing. Some of them have started appearing with the 'live' symbol in the App now. I should be more patient
The update isn't showing on my App Store so I'm downloading the full 6GB version. Is this what I should be doing while running the El Capitan beta? Or will the update section eventually show a smaller download (update) version?
If you want the old Safari behaviour back simply go to Preferences -> Tabs. You have a new option there.
I was running a pre GM dev preview (my subscription ran out) and software update didn't find it. I just downloaded it from the store and updated that way and it went fine.
My question is do people clean install Mac OS's like Windows users usually do?

It's been buggy for the last year freezing/crashing a lot, but yeah prefer it to the others so sticking with it!
I haven't yet seen this mentioned, so:
On every Mac mini *server* (server model, running RAID 1) I've tried, an upgrade (from current Yosemite to release El Capitan) install does not happen cleanly. The pre-installation restart goes into a panic loop, about 10-15 attempts until it just plain gives up.
It's easily enough fixed by option-booting into the OS X Installer image and smooth sailing from there on out, but be forewarned if you're running headless or remote: you WILL need physical keyboard access, cannot recover without.
(Every other model so far has been fine, just the mini Servers running RAID 1.)

Nope. I am too. I really love using this OS. MS could learn a few lessons from Apple on US design.
Don't know about the others, but Apple's systems are so well designed I don't even bother to do that anymore.
I'm getting the same thing. It has been a notification on my computer since yesterday. When I try to download the update it tells me it is temporarily unavailable. When I try to go into the program it tells me I need to update it. I'm using a 2015 mbp.
