I got lucky and followed the release time of 1:00 PM EST, which was given by one of the previous posters. Entire download took 7 minutes. Had the phone running iOS 5 within about an hour.


Early bird gets the worm, eh?


The only thing I can suggest is you just keep pounding the Update button in iTunes and you might get a spot. From what I've heard from my friends, the server is so overloaded right now that it takes hours to get the download completed.


I've been exploring the iOS 5 all day as well as upgrading my software on my computers for the new iCloud. It will totally be worth the wait, I promise.
