Why can’t I download macOS Sierra

Why does it tell me the recovery server is damaged when trying to download macOS Sierra? I ran repairs in disk utility.

If you get a corrupted message...

Naw, not damaged, it's just that you have an old copy already in Applications, there are 2 cures...


Disconnect from the Internet & set the Date back to 2014, then you can run the Install MacsOS High Sierra App in Applications, so expired Certificates are not expired.


Or... trash the Install MacsOS High Sierra.app in Applications then a new copy more recent version can be downloaded.
