OS X Mountain Lion Launching Tomorrow, July 25

I just realized... should the speed tests be done with San Jose servers? Where would the files be coming from? I just did San Jose server 5,600 miles away and ended up with something much less pleasant...

Theoretically, unless Apple servers melt, if download size is approx. 4 gigabytes and download speed is 10 megabits per second, it'll take about 55 minutes. So 5-6 minutes for those who can download at 100 megabits per second and 10 hours for those who download at 1 megabits per second. Right?

Approximately, but as you say servers melt and and speeds change.

Maybe you should take a test server closer to your base

the internet company out here is based out of new york, thats where speed test automatically makes it london for some reason. if I do from Japan i'm 8550 miles away

Don't worry, you will probably get the same speed as everyone else when it trickles down at telephone modem speeds....

Someone in kansas city probably got google fiber already somehow and is going to download this extremely fast

Welcome to England, lol.

 

[clukas]

mine should be alright as well. I get this on wifi and whilst streaming video .

 

[mikey4020]

Ready

I'm not expecting to get download speeds anywhere near this though, certainly not at launch.

 

[Big-TDI-Guy]

I'm ready!

So this download will take half the time required to make some microwave popcorn... The agony. What will you do?

If you don't feel like waiting for Apple to stop being so controlling, and releasing software when THEY want to, just download the Mountain Lion Golden Master. It's the same version they will release today. Click the link here to download it

Bro... are you serious? *sigh* You seriously can't afford $20? SHAKE MAH HEAD.

Maybe it's not about the money and you just want to have things early and be the first by getting a pirated version of the GM. DOUBLE SHAKE MAH EAD.

You're a real loyal Apple supporter...

Maybe he's saying to download it and then pay for it when the servers aren't being hammered? Guess that's me looking at it as glass half-full.

 

[Mrcjames]

What time do you think it will be available in the uk?

As slow as that seams I will be downloading at the same speed thinking of all of the poor people in my neighborhood who have cable's so called "5 time faster than phone company internet" which runs at 1mbs half the time. If I was not in a rush this morning I wound have brought my Mac Book Pro to work and downloaded at around 100Mbs.
