Q: Can't Download OS X Yosemite
I have 10.6.8 and I am trying to download OS X Yosemite. It will start the download but after a few moments an error message will come up saying, "The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again". My internet connection is fine. I have been trying to get this to work for hours with no luck. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Wired or wireless connection to the internet?
Wireless network connections can often result in errors during large, long downloads, regardless of apparent connection speed.
A full Yosemite dmg download is over 5GB.
For best results, use a wired Ethernet connection.
Some people have found that adding additional DNS servers (such as Google or Open Systems) in Network Preferences also improves download times significantly.
