Originally when updating to the first couple of Yosemite dev previews my mid 2012 MBP was running fairly well. By the time I started reached the GM seeds it was running horribly even with a SSD. Slow WiFi, slow to launch applications etc.

A couple weeks ago I built a bootable usb with the latest build at the time and tried to reinstall. Had nothing but issues and due to stupidity on my part finally got to the point where I had to do an internet recovery all the way back to 10.7.

In the end, for whatever reason the only bootable USB i could get working for yosemite was the original dev 1 preview. But after installing that fresh and updating to each new preview again by the time I got to the GM seeds my MBP was running like garbage again.

Now that Yosemite is finally out I thought 'ok, ill reinstall a fresh copy of yosemite from Apple's servers.' My EFI recovery partition is in tact and everything, yet when I boot off of it and try to reinstall or do a reinstall from internet recovery I'm once again greeted with the message that Yosemite isn't available and to try again later.

What gives? Why, even though I have a working recovery partition of 10.10 can I still not do a fresh install? Im not looking forward to having to reinstall from this dev preview usb again or roll back to 10.7.
