I'm finding the download very slow -others?
The download is going very slow. How are others fondling it. Are the servers overloaded.

I started downloading it8 hours ago and still no progress
I pulled it down around 8:15 am CST, and it took about 40 minutes. I have to believe that their servers are getting pretty overloaded as it is launch day and people are jsut getting home from work.
If your progress has stopped, switch to the Purchases window in the App Store and hit the pause button and then start again.
Here is very slow too. App Store says it will took more than 3 days to finish download.
A lot of variables here. Right now I expect Apple's servers to be busy with all the requests. Then you have your internet speed, the speed of your computer, etc.
Mine is not too fast either, I started downloading as soon as it was released. I went to bed and let the computer do its thing. ( I'm in Hong Kong) It is still downloading.
As long as you have progress, I would be patient.
As I have already purchased the downloadable version, I will have to be patient too.
Thanks!
Wait a week or two to download. The hoopla would have died down by then. It's not like you need Mountain Lion right this very minute!
Well, it's November, and the App store is worse than dial-up speeds. A full day for Final Cut Pro... 1.5 days for Mountain Lion, and all this on a high speed connection. Go to another site, and everything loads lickety split.
What is happening to Apple these days? From killed battery life on Macbooks, to a poor Maps release, to iPhone issues, to software mishaps like FCPX, to sweatshop slaves jumping off the roof because of Apple manufacturing conditions in China... This is not your daddy's Apple company any more. Quality control is becoming about as good as your B & D toaster.
I bought it and it hasnt download any!!! Say "waiting" for like and hour now!?!?!?! Any help?
Things I have found about downloading from Apple servers.
At my office I have a 100Mbps conneciton the internet, but I need to access it using wireless. When I downloaded Mountain Lion from the Apple Servers while at the office, it took over 6 hours to complete the download. WHen I am at home, I have a 12Mbps connection to the internet and I generally connect via a wired connection. I later re-downloaded the Mountain Lion installer from home in 2-2.5 hours (for the full 4.7GB download). The difference s were wired/wireless, and the time of day I was performing the download.
I tried to download the iOS 6 update for my iPhone 4 on launch day and I stopped in when the estimate reached 9 hours remaining. I waited about 5 days and performed the same download at 11:00pm from the same internet connection and it finished in about 20 minutes.
