How long does it take to download Lion?

I have a cable connection, probably 2 megabits/second.  Thanks!

1MBit = 1/8th of 1MB >>> your speed is about 0.25 MB/s
Lion is 3,582 MB which is 14,328 seconds
3,600 seconds in 1 hour
That is 3.98 hrs of download time.
Provided that your connection sustains the 2MBit speed all the time
I've read that Apple is turning on free Wifi at its retail stores for people with slow connection, to come by and download the files. If you are near a store and you have a Mac laptop....

    Just as an example, on a 15Mbps download speed, approximately 2 to 2-1/2 hours.
    Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

  • HT5437 how long does it take to download the ios software

    how long does it take to download the ios software

    Depends how fast your internet it and the size of the update - used to take 10-15 mins for me on around 4 Mbps but I could sear some updates have been faster recently so maybe they've been incremental update not the whole software package.

    How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

    It totally depends. The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
    Anecdotally, it took me about 20 minutes.
    Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.
    Ways you can maybe speed it up - use iTunes, get off wifi and do a hard connection via ethernet.

  • How long does it take to download and install Yosemite?

    How long does it take to download and install Yosemite?

    That is going to depend on the speed of your Internet connection as well as your machine. It took about an hour to install on my mid 2011 iMac if I recall. I started it and walked away, stopping in to check on it a few times throughout the evening.  That doesn't include the time it takes to download the ~5GB installer.

    It always depends on your network.
