Failed download multiple times. Still don't have Yosemite on my machine
same here have a 300mb connection
Kind of a mess, sadly
Now perhaps this is/was due to an install issue, not sure, but...
I'm seeing a lot of sloppy/buggy behavior. Processes dying, not restarting, apps being unresponsive and crashing, ick. I filed 5 feedback reports in quick succession and can probably file another 10 but I have things to do at the moment.
The combination of bad performance and the new look & feel is frankly jarring.
(Before people start in: I'm an Apple Developer. I've designed, written, tested and deployed software for a really really long time now. Yes, I know this is a beta. It's still jarring.)
I'm really hoping something was botched with the install and/or there are a just a handful of key issues that will get resolved and fix other, knock-on type issues.
I'll keep filing issues when I can but I can't say that I'm not disappointed.
Yes, I know it's a beta, and yes I know *exactly* what that means.

To remove the Logical Volume
First use
diskutil cs list
Then look for the disk identifier of the logical volume itself (not the physical), which should be "disk1" or "disk2"
Then do
diskutil cd revert “yourdiskname'

Just installed it on a separate partition on my Air and it is looking good. Dark mode enabled as well. Oh, and this is posted from Yosemite!

I downloaded the beta (5.3gb) and I see the download in my downloads on my iMac but it's just a grayed out button that says DOWNLOADED. I can't install it. Any advice?

I tried that. Got home and hit resume and had to enter Apple ID info again and download restarted.
First impression: Safari is NOT snappier

Still got that 800 baud modem?

Not in a Parallels Desktop VM. After rebooting you get stuck at a Darwin Bootloader. No way forward, only back to Mavericks.
Running Yosemite on my main Mac right now and it's wonderful. I honestly don't understand the problems people are having or why people don't like it.
An hour after this I tried again and got my code and it took just over an hour to download (I have DSL/10m), going to install nowI finally got through a short while ago, got stuck on "Retrieving Code" (see pic), now it's back to "We'll be back soon" arg
Thanks for pointing out a missing word.
Would you have been as prickly in person, or are you just hiding behind the internet?
Bummer
Was just a couple hundred MB away from having the beta downloaded when I received an error and now have to download the whole thing again! Oh well, hopefully this ones a go!

Mine is stuck on:
Installing on Macintosh HD
About 5 minutes remaining
For the last 1 hour or so...
My download keeps randomly starting over and then eventually failing! Why, I don't understand why it works for some and others it fails every time.
Can someone explain the back end process that Apple is using?
I feel like if it was just a traffic issue than everyone would have some failures and then it would eventually work. It seems like either it fails every time or it works on the first try.

One thing that was true initially back when I installed DP1 was an incompatibility with some component of Parallels (their remote access software or some such) and a lot of us got our responsiveness back by removing this (Parallels itself was reasonably OK). Do you have Parallels installed by chance?
Performance is excellent on DP4.
Went over and over to get a functional code, no luck, I only requested the code yesterday. So I rebooted and tried again at the Beta page, and it worked and started downloading. I got about 4/5 of the way thru the download and chickened out. I only have the one computer and if something goes squirrelly I don't want to try cleaning it up, I'm legally blind and seeing things isn't as easy as say 2 years ago. I'll wait for the official release.
Good luck to all of you who DO get it installed !!

Umm, what if all of the airplanes in the sky fell to the ground at the same time? Just as likely if you're installing the OS on a second partition.
