mountain lion download stuck?

Same here, I think its just because the servers are over loaded

Lion could take 8 hours on a non-loaded server. The new cat is a little bit bigger.

Apple's servers are being loaded. Since your Mountain Lion is already downloading.... don't touch it, just let it do it's thing and I hope you enjoy your experience with Mountain Lion.

I have been trying to download Mountain Lion for around 2 hours. Each time I download it sticks at 53.25MB. I have tried to delete the install and start again, This is extremely frustrating, Waiting does nothing it is just pure stalled. I am in the UK using my US Itunes account.

I missed Lion and its 8 hour download. I hope Mountain Lion is not that long

Started my download of Mountain Lion on a iMac purchased on 7 Jun (ouch, missed free upgrade) approximately 100 minutes ago. Indicator on the LaunchPad icon says it is downloading but it seems to be slow. Good news so far is no error messages.

Suspect my problem is communication bandwidth coming into the house (only 17 M download speed available). Hope I do not have any router / network glitches.

Little nervous about the loading process (assuming this process gets that far)

hyndman- I'm in the UK (using a UK store account) and my download is also stuck at 53.25MB.

Have tried clearing caches and restarting, always hangs/fails at 53.25MB. Have tried on a different 'net connection (completely different ISP) and get the same thing. Additionally another chap in the office has had the same failure at the same point. Seems like it's Apple's server that is having a headache. Not sure why it always craps out at the same 53.25MB tho.

Just finished in less than an hour over broadband connection.

Your time will definitely vary as the load is heavy and it will depend, I suspect, on the actual server that serves you.

As you can imagine at least a "gazillion" downloads are in progress.

Yep, so it's not just me.. so annoying,

Ive got passed the dreaded 53.5% stage and it seems to have sped up, perhaps other people are hanging fire now

It downloaded fine for me BUT now I'm trying to install it and after restart, it gets stuck in the grey screen... It have like 40 mins now :S

OK so if we just wait it will eventually move on? Wasted most of an afternoon on this. Grrrr

I am in Montreal Canada and after 20 minutes , I'm half way there !
