Greetings staceybeee,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having an issue with downloading OS X El Capitan. I was actually able to resolve this issue.
I opened up the console and received an error command about a file being found in /var/folders/rz/XXXXX-XXXXXX/C/com.apple.appstore/
I opened up Finder > Go > Go to Folder and typed in /var/folders/ and went into RZ went into the file name which was replaced by X and I took that com.apple.appstore folder and pushed it into the trash can. I was immediately able to use the App Store and download OS X El Capitan.
I hope this helps!
