Timing out is usually caused by the Mac losing it's connection to Apples servers. If you are using WiFi try a cabled connection to your router, don't use the Mac while downloading, and if any other devices are sharing your connection, restrict them whilst the download is taking place. If there is still problems you can download the standalone updates from here,
