I've been trying to download it since it came out. Would appreciate it if someone could give me a copy. My download is at 10% and i've downloading for 2 days now.
@ranibalaa according to your info you need 18 more days to finish the download :P 20 days in total, screw the internet in this country.

TheStunMan i think you're downloading the GM, since lion wasn't released by the 17th of July. And i just checked my torrent as well it reached 23% :D But it's odd, the 1st beta took me around 2 days to download but this would is incredibly slow.
Currently in the states, downloaded Lion off the mac app store. It's wonderful, the scrolling does take some time to getting used to but other than that its great.

The answer
I downloaded the GM a couple of weeks ago and it went quite smoothly. Was done in a day.

As for the scrolling, just remove "natural scrolling." There's nothing natural about scrolling up to go down and vice versa. This is not a touch screen.
Hello fellas,
Anyone of you downloaded Lion from the app store ? How is it like, worth the update ?
Anyone knows where I can download it, without having to ruin my monthly 5 Gbs ?
thanks in advance
krazy.fugitive the only way we (well I, not sure about the others) is to way until after 11 P.M and download till 7 A.M where we have unlimited quota.
Poor people :P

I have downloaded 6 versions of Mac OSX Lion so far. I will begin trying them on Monday at work to see which ones are GMs and which ones are from the Appstore. By the way, I think you need to register Mac Lion with the Apple ID that purchased Lion online.

And what the hell is going on with Apple? Mac Lion Server now is a package that should be installed over Mac Lion??? What the hell??
I just finished downloading and installing it. Runs smooth till now on my MBP 13' C2D. If you have installed it please post your results and opinion
ranibalaa, i'm on a basic 512kbps w/ 4Gb down a month, I don't get double speed or unlimited at night, any other way for me to get it ? you think i can ask for authorized apple retail stores to do it for me? i mean like it's done in the USA ?
If you live next to clemenceau, i'll be happy to give it to you. Or just wait until the USB comes out that apple is going to sell.
You don't need to register the GM or anything. I can get updates fine. It's as if you bought it from the AppStore.
I was in UK when Lion was released. I was curious about talking with guys in Apple Store.

I told them I wanted to upgrade to Lion, but in my country Lebanon, the connection is extremely slow!

The guy told me: Actually you can upgrade it from here! ;) Bring your Mac to the store and we will hook it up to our severs and it would be DONE!

After 1 hour, I brought my Mac to the Store, and it took us 11 min to download 3.49GBs ! :P

Its all GREAT! Except the fact that I can't find Lion Recovery Partition :(
the recovery partition is automatically created by the installer on EFI systems; you can check if it exists using 
diskutil list
you can also mount it using 
diskutil mount /dev/disk0s#
where # is the corresponding partition number.
I have tried everything in this page: http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/

OPTION Key on start up is not showing anything other than Macintosh HD and Windows(BootCamp)

CMD+R is not doing anything as well. Lion starts normally to log-in screen and it keeps typing "r" in password area.

Due to our internet connection, It would be IMPOSSIBLE to re-install Lion again from App Store! Is there a way i can locate the installation files/image from Finder?
