Ridiculously long download time Sierra.

I did not start the download Sierra yesterday until after I am home from work here in the Central time zone, thinking the manic rush put to the test the Apple servers would be more after 5 to 6 hours.

That I was wrong.

I started the download and was initially thrilled to see it would take less than 30 minutes. But none. After about 25% of the download, I was informed the time needed for downloading amounted to 5-6 hours, and in the course of the next hour, the time required regularly rose at the top, no kidding, "someday, 11 hours."

So I called my ISP and after I restarted my computer, my router and my modem, I ran Speedtest (see below).

I then restarted the download, and in a few minutes, the total download time estimated again exploded within 30 minutes for well over a day.

I have a life, so I gave up the download from one day to the next, with the hope, once again, that the race would be seriously reduced by the time wherever I tried again this morning.

Ha! I write this, now the estimated download time is "two days."

I am happy that Apple is a success of these days (I remember the dark days of the mid - 90s), but C'mon - it is of nuts!

What gives?

It's a popular download, is a large download, it is free to download but just as importantly, it's a download of TCP/IP, so, to do a checksum for all data sent. It's not like a UDP stream movies Netflix or XBL HD where the data does not have to check so it is much more complex. Your ISP can be the fastest thing out there but it is still limited to the Apple bandwidth limited when something this big and with all these factors and expected goes live.
