“Leopard has reached the Golden Master status. It means that Leopard is ready, because Gold Master status is given the final shipping version of the software which is sent to duplicators for distribution.
The expected release date is the next October 26th,” MyMac reports.
The full MyMac report also contains a link to “Download Leopard Golden Master via Torrent” via torrent site “Mininova” here.

Oh c’mon get bittorrent link that off here!
Or “get that Bittorrent link off here”. Beta torrents, fine, but not the release version!
Why is it that the pirates always seem to release an OS before the company?
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” /> I’m still waiting for Apple to tell me what day to skip school.
Wow. Brave website. Apple legal anyone?
It’s kind of a fine line between reporting the news and helping contribute to copyright infringement. I think MDN may be stepping over that line a bit here as I’m sure plenty of people will take advantage of the convenient link they have provided.
Apple, you better give us a date, otherwise you may find more people clicking on that link!
@Noraa Haras: Pirating is the new beta test.
Apparently the torrent is a fake – the Checksum doesn’t add up.
So you’re told. By someone else. Not you.
does apple spend ad dollars here?
I have no sympathy for people who download this and end up with a compromised machine. For those of you who want a date try October 31. Experience has shown that Apple pushes things likes pushing this kind of thing to the last minute.
Not cool. Apple folks have been working for two years on this. Let them release it their way.
No go seeds.
Yes Sarah Aaron, “get that Bittorrent link off here”.
My PC is so much zippier now!
Since Apple doesn’t make a matte screen MacBook, I had no other choice.
@OS X on PC: “My PC is so much zippier now! Since Apple doesn’t make a matte screen MacBook, I had no other choice.”
Oh, that is so sad that you are FORCED to STEAL!!! In similar logic, since BMW doesn’t make a purple Mini Couper, I was forced to steal one and paint it the color I wanted. Life is so tough….
if it were real there would probably be more seeders and much more leeches.
mdw: maybe the people who would steal it are not the “types” to seed. douches
@OS X on PC
Yea why bother paying close to $3000 for a MacBook Pro to get a matte screen when one can buy a matte screen PC laptop equal to a MacBook in performance for under $1000?
Just doesn’t make sense.
I’m all for freedom of information end everything but you need to take off the Torrent link. Including it was not very professional to say the least.
It was professional for me… running Leopard now.

I have a large investment in Mac OS X based software in which I make a living.
I can’t afford a expensive MacBook Pro and I can’t use a glossy screen as I work outdoors processing my photo’s for the web.
Now what the FSCK am I supposed to do?
Apple made their choice and I have made mine.
@ Larry J
I dunno, taste, style, class…
I dont want it.
You shouldn’t run version x.0 of any software. wait until atleast x.1 or preferably x.2
I am surprised this site would link to the torrent. That is promoting the theft of the OS as far as I’m concerned.
Could it also be seen as encouraging?
“I have a large investment in Mac OS X based software in which I make a living.”
“I can’t afford a expensive MacBook Pro”
So which is it? You can afford the software but not the computer to run it? Are you a very good photographer?
@ Emil
Or in the case of Leopard, the .5 version.
