It keeps timing out when I try to DL Big Sur update

I cannot DL the newest update Big Sur, every time I try it times out when installing the update. I checked and my computer has enough storage for the update. What am I doing wrong?

i suggest that it is timing out because you are using Wi-Fi which is too slow for these very large files. This is not uncommon. Try using a direct wired Ethernet connection, which will be much faster.
