Back to normal speed for me. About 6.7 mb/sec.

I updated my iPhone almost immediately yesterday, but had to wait until I got home for my iPad. It was impossible to do last night (slow, failed attempts), but worked fine today. I suspect either Apple's servers were slammed or if they have different content delivery networks, one particular set was slammed. When things are working normally, the download only takes a few minutes, and then a few more to install.

its prolly just the servers...I tried last night on my ipad and it said 50 hours...lol...I got up this morning and started it and was done in about 10 minutes...

I updated this am with my DSL (some of us still have that) and it took about 30 minutes each on my iPad (3rd) and iPod (5th). Only about 200MB - I was expecting a larger file.

That's why I always grab my firmware from a site like this --> http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/Firmware



If it stalls, just give it a quick pause and re-enable.

About 12-13 minutes for each IPSW

Had all kinds of trouble with failed download attempts. Grabbed a copy from a mirror site and never looked back.

The links on this website are literally from Apple's servers, so there shouldn't be a difference.

I posted that before seeing this thread. It's been 24 hours since it came out, why when trying to download it for the first time and one more try did it fail on me like 10 minutes ago? Still too many people downloading?
