How long will it take to download Lion?

Lion Doesmnot seem to be downloading properly.

Mine took 5 hours (maybe more ... I stopped waiting and watching).  Some reported as little as 3.  Zoom in on the little Lion synbol in the dock ... the progress bar moves more quickly in the pixel-scale-range that is in that tiny icon.
After it downloads, use this to save it and avoid another download (courtesy of Kappy): https://discussions.apple.com/message/16639520#16639520

    I want to update my Mac OS to the Lion OS; I just paid for it. how long would it take to download and start the istallation process through a wifi connection? I see the lion and the downloading bar however, it does not seen to be advancing. thanks,

    Your time depends on how busy the Apple servers are and your ISP's download speed. For me it takes ~1 hour to download then ~ 30mins to install.

  • How long should it take to download Lion?

    I bought a new Macbook Pro today.  At 4:30pm I started downloading Lion.  It is still not done yet.  The blue bar under the Lion head is not even half way across!
    How long should this take!?
    I am plugged into the router with an ethernet cable.  It is a wireless router but I am not connecting to the router wirelessly.  I have cable internet.  Not the fastest speed available, but it is still cable internet not dial up or DSL.
    Is something wrong with my computer or the download?
    Thanks,
    Ehren

    I did the speed test.
    Download speed was:  .87 Mbps
    Upload was:  .32 Mbps
    Ping: 58
    So how many Mbps are there in 4gb?  That's how I figure that out right?

    You are on the low end to say the least.  Maybe 10 hours at your speed?

    Is there a way to make the Adobe Application Manager download the archive containing the software on another disk? (I am not talking about setting a different install folder, my understanding is that the application downloads the files in a Temp folder on my C: Drive)
    My problem is this: I got a SSD as boot drive but the size is very limited (Effectively 52GB) and I am experiencing troubles in downloading the whole suite: Illustrator, Flash and other programs do not have enough size to download and extract on my C: drive.
    Looking forward to an answer.

  • 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....

  • How long should it take to download Lion  from App store?

    The download bar/indicator does not seem to be moving at all. There have been no messages. Is the App store very busy and should I try again later?

    When I attempted on Day#1, it took nearly 24 hours, three or four aborted downloads, several hung downloads, several stuck at "Waiting..." and a furious rant into the skies after hours of quiet desperation. The last time I tried took me a couple of hours tops.

  • How long should it take to download Mountain Lion?

    How long should it take to download and install Mountain Lion?  I have been downloading it for about 5 hours and it still has 1 gig to go.  My current OS X is 10.7.4

    It depends on what bottlenecks you have interposed.
    If you have a fast Ethernet connection, not cable Internet, that is not throttled by your ISP, and are using fast Ethernet on your local network, you should be able to download in about an hour.
    If you are transmitting it over your wireless connection, it may take substantially longer.

  • How Long does it take to download Mountain Lion?  Anybody have a good guess?

    How long does it take to download Mountain Lion?  I know there are variables regarding DSL but should it take an hour?  two hours.  Ball Park please?!

    Wish I had your DSL speed.  iTunes suggests I have about 7 1/2 hours still to go!  Just glad it is giving it it's best shot.
    Thanks for your reply.

    How long does it take to download Mountain Lion

    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.

  • How long does it take to download a movie with a 2 Mb/sec connection speed?

    I will shortly be returning back to the UK after a number of years in India where we have a slow internet connection. I will need to sign up for a new ISP and want to choose carefully what kind of contract I buy. Downloads on my current speed ( never more than 170kbps) are impractically slow so I was wondering what I could expect with a faster connection. For instance, how long would it take to download a movie or TV show, and what about the large software updates. To update to 10.4.10 took all night here!

    Take a look at this page:
    iTunes Store: Download times for purchases will vary
    It should give you an idea as to what sort of download times you can expect.
