I actually max out my connection much more often on well supported torrents (as Snow Leopard would be) than on regular downloads.
Got a tip for us?

I still think they should have spent some more time on it. I'm expecting 10.6.1 very soon. Yawnfest all around.
that's what i'm taking about. kinda slow
That is my MAX speed... You are very lucky my friend, but even with my crap speeds if you can't wait a hour or two I dunno what to tell ya... Wait till Friday? (which is more than 2hr BTW)
I really don't get why people doubted it was the GM. It was very obvious this was the GM and what's up with people reporting bugs. Still have to find the first bug. I think most people reporting bugs are not very tech savy. Oh yes me too experienced some irregularities but using your brain could fix all those bugs. In my case turning of techtool pro fixed all my "bugs"
Nothing, except that all Versions of OS X were called "Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Tiger, Leopard..." ;-) Now it's the first time that Apple shows the animal. I like it.
It's nice to know for sure, but I don't see how this changes much. Won't the people who pirate it still be forced to install the retail version Friday? Won't the developer's build no longer work with the Apple Update? Isn't there branding that says it is a developer's build? Even if you have installed A432, you're still going to have to install the retail version Friday in order to have the real version that works, right?
I'm glad people who wanted to know what the retail build was know it, but this doesn't get me my retail disc any sooner than Friday. Friday can't come soon enough!

D= WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS SLOW!?!?!that's what i'm taking about. kinda slow
I get 10mbps download 2mbps upload, and I think that's amazingly fast.
Jesus I didn't even know there was a speed that fast available except for some fiberoptics maybe?
D= I'mma move there, damn!
3mbps download speeds are great, you'd be done downloading in a couple of hours though I don't condone piracy. It's just that it really isn't slow.

No. if you have 10A432 you have WHAT IS ON THE DISK. Nothing is different, they don't say oh here is the developer 10A432 look good? oh ok.... now lets change all this **** and send it out without testing... oops focked something up? my bad....
They test the actual version that is going to be pressed onto the disk exactly as is.
So they are running exactly what you will get on Friday, hopefully they DO go buy it though... I would... and have ;-)

What on Earth are you talking about. Developers who have 10a432 do have the final. The exact same version that people will get starting friday (and apparently sooner.)
Only the Server version is actually tied to a serial number that will eventually expire, but not on Friday.
Plus there is no better response than the response of the actual users who buy the pack and use it in real life. Delaying it until September only provides more developer response which I'm sure they got enough of until today..
Well, it still just seems like a possible bag of hurt for those now rushing to torrent the thing just to get it early. Can't the build number be manipulated? And couldn't someone have embedded it with a virus or something like that iwork or ilife thing a while back? I dunno.
Nice package pics.
wondering why he did not include some shots of the build though.
I have the same question,,, while I certainly appreciate the pics of the box and docs -- Thank you pedro10 -- they do not constitute "proof" of version build number.
That would require a photo of the dvd installer disk with Apple version number imprint on it.
People can easily compare it to the apple file to make sure it hasn't been modified. unless you think apple put a virus in it.
Dude, come live where I am, 28kbs at the most, 32kbs if I'm lucky! And that's apparently "broadband"...Australian style.
So the table has been set! Version 10.7 will be nicknamed Cougar and feature a photo of Demi Moore on the box.
Yes, they could.
There is a difference between being a "beta tester" (Which is not what we're talking about, although Apple does have an "AppleSeed" program for that) and paying $500 for these kind of exclusive developer resources.
Apple doesn't put build numbers on the discs. There is a disc version number, but it's not the OS build number.

LOL....

~300kbps down, and like 50kbps up.
Oh well, college campus in 2 weeks.
That would be funny on Apples part if they did that. Releasing a version onto the torrent sites that bricks your computer when you try to install it. Come on Apple, hire me. I'm full of good ideas!
