APPS Store - Really Slow

So a lot of my apps are starting to have updates available for os 3.0 i discovered whilst browsing the store from my iPhone.

Selected update all (4 apps for updating) and man is it running sloooowww. Hope it's just the sheer volume of punters downloading 3.0

I also had to sign a new apps store agreement before it would let me do anything, and gave me a few spurious messages (which i cannot remember what they were - just okayed them)

Re: APPS Store - Really Slow

I would imagine that the same hosting and distribution infrastructure that is used for the App Store is currently being used to distribute the 3.0 software. It seems that Apple either drastically under-estimated the demand or simply didn't bother to increase capacity ready for tonights release.

I'd expect to see an improvement by tomorrow and normal service by Friday at the very latest.
