Q: Downloading Mavericks is taking DAYS! Literally. This is stupid. Is there no hard-copy disc to use instead of this do-nothing download?
I've been trying for months to upgrade my computer with this "free" upgrade that has cost me a fortune in wasted data-transmission time. The download-only upgrade is a failure. It stops unexpected, puts itself on pause, and and dies. I've messages say it will take as much as 8800 hours to download. I'm trying again right now and it's telling me the download time will be 18+ hours. I live in the middle of one of the most wired cities in the nation and never have problems except with this utterly frustrating free download upgrade. What a mess!!
Does anybody know of anywhere I can get a hard-copy disc to make this a sane, efficient process?
Thank you.
