OS X Mountain Lion Launching Tomorrow, July 25

2.5MB/s at the min

All of Apple's iOS iWork apps have been updated as well.
Kinda of sad it's not a full update of iWork for OSX though

25 mins!! Jesus, you have fast i'net! 0.0

Just under an hour for me. Around 500MB downloaded so far.

Well it still says 25 minutes and a gig has already come down. Its only a 40Mb connection.

I find a DVD doesn't have enough space, but a flash drive or external drive works OK.

Maybe a Dual-Layer DVD would be good enough.
It's strange why it's so big. Lion fits on a DVD, and Mountain Lion is supposed to be more streamlined, so I'm not sure why it doesn't fit on a regular DVD.

Still waiting for up to date code.

ONLY 40 Mb??

...


I have 20Mb and that's fast for here. It's DSL though, not cable. Just over 900 done now

 

[dcorban]

It should fit, since the file is 4.3GB.

I noticed there are dozens of people all around the world having the redemption code error. I guess I just have to wait for Apple to fix it for everyone.

Downloading in Czech Republic… 29 minutes remaining

 

[LinusR]

Now it works here in Germany as well. Thank you

 

[Sensation]

But there is only one version?

Well the Hakintosh version.

Both you and I

And me! Not only is the waiting painful but I have a 2.5mb connection to download it on. Joys of being outside of a fibre zone in the UK.

 

[towg]

Only ten minutes to download too

via Apple UK tech support regarding the redemption codes:

"Apple are aware of the problem and they will send out new emails with new codes to affected people."

You must be in wales or the Highlands then? Pretty sure BT cover most areas now.

 

[theanimaster]

As of now (and maybe earlier) Thailand's got it. Downloading. Goes from 2 hours to 8 hours +

It's already 9.18pm here!

Dude! Random harshness on Wales. I live outside cardiff with a 40Mb connection. Be nice

 

[skippymac]

mine's downloading in the UK, time remaining is about 19-22 hours gonna be in for a long night

 

[Wise87]

Download took less than 20 min. Installing now.

 

[GreasyWeasel]

Downloading in the UK here now too. Looks like it'll take about 3 hours but that is over 3G. I wish BT would get their act sorted out and connect up my new homes broadband.

I guess it would depend on where are you downloading from.

I'm sure the U.S. App Store is getting slammed real bad with all the simultaneous downloads going on.
And internet traffic must be very heavy as well, considering the size of the downloads, including today's updates to Mac Apps, iOS Apps and finally Mountain Lion Installation.

I would say is about 10 GB average per user (of both a Mac and one iOS device; users with both an iPad and iPhone will add more to the formula)

 

[HarryMiller]

Download completed. Installing now. (Mac has just done its first restart).
