Big Sur error when downloading

I just tried to download macOS Big Sur on my 2017 MacBook Pro, but I get to about the 13 minutes left mark then get an error saying it cannot download. Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?

Suggest rebooting into Safe Mode - Shift - immediately at startup and disconnect all external drives. Try again
