Re: Lion to be released this evening?
It was probably about 1.5mb. Not very fast but better than I'm used to normally.
Doesn't really matter as I'm back at work now. So it'll be done when I get home.
Yeah, don't see why you can't pause it and carry on at home.

20mb advertised but I only normally get around 12-15 these days unless it's 04:00 on a Monday morning.
Lion is installing now. 28 minutes to go. C'maaaan. C'MAAAN!
EDIT: Also love how you can buy it on one mac, then download it for free on another one. Apple FTW. Although as they manufacture the machines, I suppose they have less to lose than Microsoft.

I'm going straight ahead, but I backed up in TM yesterday anyway. 18 minutes to go ZOMG.

Don't have time machine but backed up to external. Took about 4 hours this morning and finished just before Lion was released. Still got 40 mins of download left

Re: Lion to be released this evening?
You don't have Time Machine? It's part of OSX. You don't need a Time Capsule. You can tell TM to use any external disc so long as it (or a partition on it) is formatted for Mac OSX Journaled. Works brilliantly. Do it.

I should have done it on my mini at the same time. Failz0rz.
Peak time and when America has woken up is going to SUCK!

Re: Lion to be released this evening?
Ah right I tried using it and wouldn't show my external so thought you had to have the capsule. Maybe I will make a OSXJ partition on my external and do that once I've got Lion running. Is it much quicker? I'm guessing it means just backing up the updates and not the whole thing.

Re: Lion to be released this evening?
I wouldn't say Time Machine is quicker, ultimately it's still using the same IO to write the files over USB. It's just the way it works. Seamless recovery of files and folders or the entire machine. It's brilliant. It means you never have to worry about your data again. Even if you buy a new machine tomorrow you know you can recover everything easily and efficiently. You can browse your entire machine as it was on any given date & time that TM took a backup.
Yes, you probably tried pointing it to a FAT32 or NTFS file system disc. Needs to be OSX Journaled.
EDIT: It will be quicker once it's done a first full backup, because after that, it only backs up files that have changed.

Re: Lion to be released this evening?
I've disabled the natural scrolling. It doesn't feel natural on a non-touchscreen, and in some areas (for example when choosing wallpapers) it has no affect. Personally I'm sticking with old school scrolling direction.
The multiple dekstops are simply amazing. This is going to be a massive boon for me at work. I often have several apps or windows open, and now rather than finding them and minimising etc. I just swipe between them. It's awesome as f**k. Launchpad is great too. I don't have any intersest in Mail, as I use Sparrow.
