How long did it take to download Lion?

[MaxxTraxx]

It's been about an hour and a half for me...app store says "less than a minute remaining" but has said that for some time now and the progress bar hasn't moved in about half an hour.

Pause it and then pause it again

4hrs still left..

Took a little under 30 minutes using my college campus network connection. Blazing fast 2MB/s+ speeds up and down. It's about 3 times faster than my connection at home.

 

[Ladybug]

40 minutes here.

 

[deannnnn]

Mine took a little under a half hour. Thanks Comcast for not sucking!

 

[Patdt13]

It's not done yet, but its been about 10 minutes and its about half way.

 

[agreene24]

I'm about to hit an hour and it's not even half way done. So it will probably take 2+ hours.

Whats going on!

I've got a 30M line, but is working at 12M's at 23 pings. And yet Lion is downloading at 600kb/s.

Whats going on!

22 minutes to download the whole thing on a 25Mbps Cable connection...

Apple's servers are probably the best in the world! EXCELLENT performance on the first day of launch!

 

[Hellhammer]

Took me about an hour. 10Mb/s.

 

[jamoin]

I'm currently racing along at 90 kb/s. No joke..

Estimated download time: 16 hours.

Are you actually kidding me? Even with their servers being hammered..surely it can't be this slow!

I just did a speed test and it's happily reaching 6 meg..

ffs

With my current experience... i beg to differ.

It took me 2hours and 30mins on Ethernet. Wifi would take be 4 to 5 hours.. thankfully i only have 45mins to go.

 

[Stonefly]

Took a little under 30 minutes here.

Is there an easy way to throttle the connection from the App Store? I don't want it using up all my bandwidth. My kid will freak if his xbox live goes down the crapper.

 

[cambookpro]

1 hr 30 mins on a ~6 mb connection.

Welcome to my world I'm really looking forwards to downloading it on my 1meg connection
There are benefits to living in rural France, but fast BB is not one of them?

 

[davkt]

8Mb connection, about 3 hours in 2.17GB done and 2 hrs 3min to go but has been stuck there at lesat 10 min, me thinks Apples servers are struggling!

 

[baryon]

4 hours on 2Mbps!

 

[cludgie]

Just over a hour, but that with with other devices using bandwidth on our network.

 

[bronzevernis]

It's going to take 5 hours

It started installing at 6pm and it's now nearly 9.30pm. It tells me that 2.08 GB out of 3.74GB has so far been downloaded. I'm using WiFi and there's another 2 hours to go. Very slow. Maybe it's the combination of WiFi and demand at the App Store. And then I've got to repeat the process on my daughter's MacBook Pro. Might start her download after mine is done, so hers works through the night.

 

[Reach9]

I've waited 30mins for Lion to
install, that's ridiculous!

 

[filthysambo]

I downloaded mine on works poxy 2Mbps connection this afternoon in about an hour and a half. Now I'm downloading a copy for the wife on our 18Mbps connection, started two hours ago - ETA another 10 hours!

 

[Final Hour]

2 hours 50 minutes here in Israel. Mediocre connection speed.

 

[ztc0611]

How long on 12mbs?
it says 3h but 20 min ago it said 1h 30m





I'm gonna miss u scroll bar :-(

 

[ChristianVirtual]

40 min; should have been 6 min. But as we all run at the same time Apple Server farm just did what they could ... Not bad overall.
By the way: have a 100Mb/s glas fiber line; normally extreme fast.

Copied the file then locally to my other Mac to avoid bothering you guys still trying
