iPod Touch 2.0 Firmware Update (Almost) Live

[PaThKu]

Why are people bothering to DL the torrent - it's not the final release. Why on earth would you want NOT the final release on your iPod?!

So I can use apps 10 minutes before the people that buy the upgrade can

Maybe Apple is monitoring this thread and they dislike the Packers.

 

[SimonTheSoundMa]

Ok, hit update again and it has downgraded to 1.1.4. LOL.

Well, it's past 8:30AM EDT and still no update for the iTouch.

Yeah, why would people want to Jailbreak, that's not official either.

agh. i've been stuck on the preparing iphone software for restore screen for 5 minutes

AAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH iTunes is still unavailable to download 2.0

 

[CooperHawkes]

The fluctuation between 1.14 and 2.0 on iTunes is maddening.. "The waiting is the hardest part.."

 

[carve]

phew, I thought it was frozen! but its not, its moving along

Having spent ten minutes looking at the notice that 2.0 is available for my iPod, but not letting me load it (iTunes Store is unavailable blah blah) I tried restarting iTunes and resyncing my iPod and LO! Now it says that 1.1.4 is the latest version.

Fabulous.

 

[PaThKu]

I give up, I'm going to the beta. Bittorrent, here I come!

 

[hlfway2anywhere]

i just tried to restore my beta 5a345 back to 1.1.4, and it failed, then it notified me of the new firmware, downloaded, and is currently installing. it didn't even ask me to purchase it?

 

[Tragedies]

So you're saying you're downloading the new firmware without paying? Lucky you.

 

[RGSMDNR]

Mine keeps going between 1.1.4 is the current version, and that there is a new version available. But still cant download...

 

[owen-b]

Yeah, why would people want to Jailbreak, that's not official either.

Yes but Jailbreaking the official firmware - that's fine, great, go for your life. But loading a pre-release beta version on and using it like it's the official one? That's just st00pid. Why is it not the final release? Hmm, let me think, presumably because it's unsafe, not secure, has a bug or two in there...

But fine, I guess they're the sorts of people who think unprotected one night stands are a really cool idea...

 

[gregarious119]

I have a feeling that the download hasn't been completely spread to all the akamai servers and proxy servers that hang around the country. That would explain the changing links and people getting it before others.

Don't get me wrong - I'm ready to get it just like the rest of us....but lets just take a few minutes, get some coffee (or Mountain Dew for me)...and get it in a few minutes

 

[Squires]

Grr iTunes Store is doing my head in it won't update cos the store is unavailable!

Anyone else got this problem? In the UK?

 

[allbrokeup]

I am currently...THIS close to...well I don't know exactly what, but I can tell you if Apple Australia make us wait until Monday or the Weekend, they will be getting a pretty chock-full email.

allbrokeup.

[PaThKu]

it's unsafe, not secure,...

heaven forbid that someone hacks my iPod Touch and steals my playlists!

Could you please TIMG that instead of just IMGing it? Cheers

EDIT: It still says 1.1.4 for me in the UK
