macOS Ventura taking way too long to install

Hi

I completely erased everything and wanted a fresh start

However upon installing macOS ventura , the remaining time is said to be 14hours 6 minutes

I have a decent download speed

Do i just let it finish or is there a way to show the actual progress ( i am downloading on data 😅)

Thanks

( PS , there's no backup or anything so i think downloading all over again is the only solution )

And how long has it been...?

Typically those project times can be way off.

You either let it run or you abort.

Based upon your earlier statement " I completely erased everything and wanted a fresh start "

This would have eliminated any VPN or Third Party Security Software running on this computer and interfering with your Internet Connection

Unless there are more insightful suggestions appearing here and open to them, I would suggest using a Different Network to achieve your download

Yes please do - time permitting.

Just for a point of reference - the Full Version of Ventura is about 12.xx GB in size.

Even if you were to attempt to download over a good and stable Wifi Connection, it could take upwards of 30 minutes just to download. The add another 15 to 20 minutes for it to be Verified as being without Errors by the Apple Server.

Once those two processes have completed successfully would you be presented with the Installation process.

We hope your experience over a Ethernet Cabled Connection will prove fruitful and successful

This appears to be over a Cellphone connection ?

You would be far better off using an Ethernet Cable connection which is more stable and fast
