Bought used 2020 MacBook Air. Did factory reset and in disk recovery trying to download Ventura but it craps out after certain point. Takes forever and have gone through process several times. Could it be a disk issue or just an internet issue, which btw is pretty good. Should I just wait for tomorrow to try again? Help.

Troubleshooting macOS Install Error:
A. Use a USB Bootable Installer:
Create a USB Bootable Installer for Big Sur. (If installing anew, delete the hard drive's partition). Then, install this macOS with it. Go Here: How to Create a Bootable Installer for macOS - Apple Support. You'd need to use another person's Mac to create one.
B. Use Ethernet:
If WiFi is not working, then connect using Ethernet. Having a hardwired connection, your would get a more reliable source. For your device, this is the adapter to use: The Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple
