Yup, use the search bar on the App store to find it.

Edit: The download status bar is useless! Wish it gave a countdown/speed indication!

If you click on 'Purchased' in the App Store it gives you a realtime status.

Love the university network speeds

Hope it stays as a fast download for all... It also has me wondering (and please for give my complete and utter basic knowledge) if this will be a test for the servers they intend to use with iCloud?

Downloading. One minute it says '4 days remaining, the next it says 23 minutes'. Infinity is good.

OK so if I use a work macbook can I pay and download it here and then somehow transfer it so I can wipe my MBP later and do a fresh install?

Basically I'm at work and my MBP is at home, got a spare Macbook here though

and a fast 20meg sdsl

Spit · 20 Jul 2011 at 13:57

30 mins to go

Glad to hear it's downloading fast

Still not sure if I'm going to upgrade tonight or not

Decisions, decisions...

Downloading, was in two minds about whether or not to go for it for about 20 seconds

uniQ · 20 Jul 2011 at 14:02

Those due a free upgrade can request it here:

Ok I've just restarted the App store and up comes 'Lion Download now' right at the top so you now cannot miss it!

I'm downloading it now also, no idea how long it's gonna take though...

Spit · 20 Jul 2011 at 14:05

Go to purchased on the mac app store and it tells you the estimated time.
