So iOS5 will be available for download this Wednesday the 12

I am kind of shocked that Apple isn't using the new server farm to handle the load.

yeah thats a nice feature of iTunes as it downloaRAB first and then installs all locally so if theres problem its on your client end. the only issue i can see would be super slow download times but it'll be worth and if i had to guess apple is ready for these types of things and i could almost see the update being released in waves as apposed to all at once

The last few post were hilarious. 😄

I am too. That's exactly what I would have thought they would have done. They are giving us all 5g. They should make you set up iCloud first. have a copy in there and then it's a personal direct download. NBD....

Apple now has the data center and bandwidth to handle this type of release. In fact if memory serves, Apple has finally eclipsed even Facebook in server farm size.

It's there!

is the "gold master" file the same as the final file that will be pushed out tonight?

edit: n/m, found answer... evidently it's essentially the same file 99% of the time, with the slight chance for some small changes before tonight's release

Thanks for finding your answer. Saved me from repeating myself.

I can host my GM file but it'll be on dropbox so it might end up getting taken down for overload. Let me know of you guys are interested
