Beta 2 update stuck at "Calculating..."

I had this same problem with iTunes and the Recovery update at the time beta 1 was released, but I was able to install those updates manually using links that were provided in a forum post here.


But for Sierra Beta 2 I haven't found any other way to get it than via the App Store, and it's not working. The status has been at "0 bytes of 667 MB -- Calculating..." for about an hour now.

If by "beta 2" you mean PB2 then the links are now in this thread: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/52196


Scroll down in that thread for PB2 links.

yes, this is happening to me as well. I am able to download to 627 then it slows and the time showing how long the install will take moves from seconds to minutes, to hours. I have tried clearing the download cache, this will allow the download to start again but again it freezes.
