I did an OTA, now it just says it has been requested and will inform me when it's ready to install.

Guess they queueing downloads this year so they don't screw up the worlds internet again

Hahaha. So true! Glad they are using this request system now, caused a lot of confusion and frustration in the past, not to mention like you say, DDOSing the internet!

By the way guys, I put up direct download links here - http://iphoneza.co.za/downloads/

My Apple downloads are ridiculously slow, don't know if it's them or my ISP.

Mine is coming from 197.84.130.9, a local MWEB server. Looks like they are using their iTunes CDN for updates now, which makes sense, but the erratic speed for the download is then probably something between MWEB and user which is not supposed to be happening.

Mine was coming down at a solid 1.03MB/s on a 10 meg line via Afrihost.

What speed are you guys getting?

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

What speed are you guys getting?

Was my ISP, partly. Was getting 20KB/sec on my 40Mbit line, switched to Telkom account and it's now going at between 700KB/sec and 1MB/sec. Still slow but a lot better 20KB/s

Busy rebooting now

 

[FHTheron]

Going better now, that is pretty much my max line speed anyway (webafrica business capped).

Sweet! Thanks! just a warning, DO NOT upgrade to icloud drive yet if you have older devices or a mac that shares your icloud account, wait for yosemite if you want to sync with OSX.

Preparing update ...

 

[CuppaJoe]

The GM version released a week ago for all the devices is identical to the public version, so if you have upgraded already, there is no need to do it again.

Installed GM version a week ago to avoid this mad rush.

You're welcome Good point on the iCloud Drive warning

Precisely. While I cannot MD5 hash every single firmware, I did it for the 5S version and it was identical to the GM hash

Tomorrow's going to be a slow day at the office Internet-wise.

 

[Cassady]

Worth trying an OTA - or you all running (in)direct and then through iTunes?

Haha. Better hope they having some good proxy caching in place.

Wondering whether to try TI uncapped, or Afrihost capped... Probably the latter? 4mb line...
