Aaaaaaaaaaaand the server meltdown begins. I got almost all the way through the download quickly, but near the very end, it came screeching to a halt. Now my progress bar is crawling. And that's putting it mildly.
started mine, it immediately said 1 hour to complete. This is HUGE day for Apple and I don't expect such a massive undertaking to go smoothly, so everybody CHILL.
Remember, they have TENS OF MILLIONS of new customers with phones. A bit of perspective.....
Gone from 10 remaining to over half an hour remaining. All you freeloaders off my lawn so i can get this! Rotten kids think they need everything right away. Stupid ADHD generation. Respect your elders! Out of the queue I say!
Does anyone have the build number for the final release? I am running iOS 5 beta, and it says its the current version (5.0), but I don't believe it is. My dev account expired a couple of weeks ago.

The queue has been cued so lots of people will need to queue and bear it.

You could download the IPSW for 5.0 and do a restore. I have the download links if you want them.
NOTE: These links are directly from Apple so no funny business here.

I would appreciate the link. I tried to locate the ipsw before I posted here, but I couldn't find it. My OSX dev account it still current by my iOS account lapsed, ugh!

do you mean "Quebec"? or "queue"?
Cue would be correct.
Had tons of stuff on my iPhone so it is taking a long time to restore...

I hit pause and resume and now the download is pretty fast
I have no idea about updating in iTunes. A lot of people are reporting much slower download speed.

I hit pause and resume and it started me from 0 mb and was even slower
