Multiple times I have tried updating my macbook pro 2017 to catalina. At some point (e.g. 1.02GB) it will tell me that there is an error. And then I am back to 511MB. Tried using safe boot as well to no avail.
Not sure if someone already found a solution for this?
MacBook, OS X 10.11

If your download speed is suspect, try a faster network—this is typically the issue.
Do you have enough free storage space on the drive? I forget how much room you need, but it may be as much as 50GB or more.
Have you tried installing from Internet Recovery Mode using Command + Option + R? Or maybe create a bootable macOS 10.15 Catalina USB installer?
Have you run Disk Utility First Aid on the drive to make sure there are no file system issues?
Does your laptop qualify for this free Apple SSD repair program?

Internet speed is okay, but it keeps on getting the same error.
