Connectivity issues while downloading Big Sur

How can I install Big Sur without the download disconnecting (after 1 of 12 GB has been already downloaded)? My internet speed is currently 26 mbps and I have a MacBook Pro 2014. This issue has been consistent with every attempt.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

Installing Big Sur I have tried many times to install Big Sur and just as it looks like it will complete, I get a message that says "you must have an internet connection to complete this", which is ridiculous, because I've been connected the whole time. What can I do?

Big Sur 11.2.3 Is anyone having problems downloading Big Sur 11.2.3? It refuses to download to my iMac. I have tried umpteen times. I have restarted, turned off, unplugged, checked my internet connection, restarted router, and still nothing. I keep on getting the same message about an error occuring. It tells me to check the internet connection. This is so frustrating.
