I think I can help you. I know that a successful download is possible using Wi Fi, but more often than not, it will get corrupted and then will not load. This is simply too much data for wireless. I recommend that you move the download corrupted file to the trash and do another download with a wired USB connection to the modem/router. If necessary, you may have to temporarily move the computer. If this is not possible, then be prepared to have to do multiple downloads until you get a clean one that works. Finally, during the download do not use the internet. This should enable you to have a successful download. I hope this is helpful. Good luck.
