I am having issues downloading Catalina update as the download times out constantly. I then have to restart the download, unsuccessfully. Sometimes it download almost 75% of it then times out. Why do you think this is? How can I overcome this issue? Thanks.
iMac 27", macOS 10.14
Delete any copy of "Install macOS Catalina" that may be in the Applications folder then try while in Safe Mode.
Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support
If that doesn't work, you need a better internet connection, Ethernet if possible.

Do you connect your iMac to the network by Ethernet or by wireless? If the latter, try temporarily connecting by Ethernet. If you already have it connected by Ethernet, try booting up your iMac in Safe Mode, and then, try downloading the update again.
Thank you, I shall try that.
Thank you, if all else fails I will try that too.

You're welcome but Tesserax & I recommended the same possible solution.
