Hi Brian, Well, I am not sure if it's entirely Apple's servers or maybe slow download speed on your end. I just thought I try this and I started the Australian high quality voice download a bit over 1 minute ago and it's currently at 20 of 120 Mb. It does appear a bit slow on my end here as well, I have a connection which gives me 25 Mbps down and 5 up. It seems that it takes about 8 seconds in between Voiceover saying it's downloaded another Mb, so about 7 or 8 Mb per minute which would mean it will take 15 or 17 minutes to download the 120 Mb which normally would download on my connection in about a minute. I now went out of the speech setting screen back to the home screen and locked my phone, that was when the download was at 44 Mb. Now I went back maybe a minute or so later and I'm at 61 Mb, in other words for me the download is not super fast, but working just fine. Have you tried to maybe do a Reset all Network Settings on your phone to see if that clears things up? Make sure you know your WiFi password, though, you'll need to reconnect after the phone reboots. OK, now the download has finished and it took pretty much exactly 15 minutes.

Honestly the bugs for the most part I can live with. While I do find them a major statement about Apple's commitment to accessibility as I just can't get over the fact that Apple released a iPhone operating system where blind people can't dial a phone number. I guess that means that blind people won't be able to tell time with the iWatch. For the first time ever I am going to actually start paying more attention to Droid related info, as I do question how much testing Apple is actually doing with VO if this kind of a bug is going to appear in the release. I also have not been able to download any high quality voices after leaving the screen on trying to download the Australian HQ voice for six hours it was only at 25megs of 125 downloaded. I am sure this is a server issue but not being able to download any of the HQ voices and I have plenty of room on my 64GB is really pissing me off.
