Yeesh.

Hmm...

Four hours to download? I think I'll try tomorrow.

Never takes that long with Windows Update but then I suppose they have more practice.

I'm a lot more excited about SL.
But I'll download this anyway :p

Is it 9J61?

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else?

Does NOT fix my Mac Pro networking problems.


Any other bright ideas :rolleyes:

Apple really should have split this up into 10.5.7 and 10.5.8 given the number of fixes, the length of time and all the trouble people are having downloading and installing.

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else?

This has been happening a lot. Just restart the download.
