[MacUser2525]

It's up in the USA

Canada as well downloading now though at slow 400k/s should only take a few hours damn...

 

[Beachguy]

Using the Canadian link, I can download in the USA. Just before I read that, I could not.

Does anyone know if I can just do an updrage 'over' my current Mountain Lion? Even if I've got a Parallels widnows 7 Deskptop installed?

 

[Philip Smowton]

Downloading in UK. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[alvindarkness]

Any way to see the download progress? Mine just says "downloading."


Edit: Nevermind, forgot to check launchpad.

2nd edit: It's crawling. Only at 275 mb of 5.29 freaking gigs. Sheesh.

Even better is go into your purchases tab, and itll show the time left. You know, to increase your anxiety levels.

Downloading now....for FREE

 

[S.B.G]

Mine is coming in at about 5MB/s. A bit slow for my connection, but faster than I expected for being released right now.

 

[SamIchi]

I had zero problems running After Effects CS6 in 10.9

I'm using the GM with Photoshop CS6. no issues.

Good to know.

Anyone know about Illustrator and InDesign?

I tihnk I'll download it and wait a little. It's also convenient I just just backed up to Time Machine yesterday.

Windows 8.1 around £200 and Apple Maverick £0.00, RESULT!

I am seriously thinking of dumping Microsoft for good and just sticking with

I did this before Vista. Never looked back.

Well, this is weird. I keep going to go download it and it keeps saying that I have to give a password to an account that isn't even linked to the computer at all.

 

[Fireball Dragon]

Mine (UK) is currently downloading at 5-10 mb/s; not bad!

 

[pmontanarella]

150 mbs of 5gbs. 1.5 hours left really slow!

 

[mRta03]

Yes it's finally up in Europe too!

When you guys finish installing, please send your reviews.

You should be able to just type in your actual account email address over the one that's already there. Is it not allowing you to enter in the account you actually use??

Fantastic, at last Apple starts following Microsoft in shipping their service packs free!

bullocks. SPs dont come with tons of new features and functionality, as OS X versions have.

Same here - not exactly the fastest possible speed, but pretty good given the timing - 27 minutes to go.

I am at work until 4p EST...the more people getting it done now will hopefully help me get it downloaded quicker when I get home...I know, wishful thinking
