Downloads consistently fail, with error network failed. In upgrade for Ventura , says network connection lost. Surfacing the web requires click on link, multiple times before page will load. Any ideas this started the the upgrade to Ventura?
Nothing like answering your own question. After I removed remnants from a old firewall and antivirus program that came up in the Systems Preference for Ventura everything is back to normal and is working properly. So it was Ventura that was the problem, Ventura actually was the solution. Thanks...sorry for the unnecessary question!

How are you connected to the internet? If it's by WiFi that may be the problem. It's slower and susceptible to dropouts. Connect your Mac to your router via Ethernet and try again.
Also it wouldn't hurt to boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and the downloading and installing from there. .
Note: If you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries you should connect it with its charging cable to assure a boot into Safe Mode or the Recovery volume.
That will eliminate the possibility of any 3rd party software interfering with the download and install.
Downloads fail - network error , Ventura updates - network connection lost
