Hi, I'm trying to dual boot my macOS with windows using Boot Camp, I have an issue where the speed of the download is slow, as usual my internet speed is fine
How am I able to fix this?
Macbook Pro MD101 A1278 (13" Mid-2012)
macOS Mojave 10.14.6
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
Your connection to the Apple CDN is slow, not your Internet connection. You can try Brigadier (https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier).

😂 Hopefully the following content is suitable material for a 5-year old.
In the attached sample, the brigadier package was downloaded to the Downloads folder.
After the download is complete, and you have uncompressed the 'package', your Downloads will have this structure.
Here is an example of downloading the Driver package.
so I did this, what should I do after I fully download the .dmg?
MacBook-Pro-Shepherd:~ shepherd$ cd ~/Downloads/brigadier-master/

Sorry, but I forgot to tell you that I don't have a Windows installed yet, this problem happened when I tried to install the Boot Camp, I tried unchecking the boxes, but still ended up in the same spot
I'm not an expert in Git, can you show me how to build the package and run it?
I can't tell where's the utility brigadier, only found this in the readme
Please explain like I'm five sir, this is stressing me out
Are you using a wired connection or wireless?
You should have a WindowsSupport.dmg. You can double-click on it. It should have all the drivers. Use a USB2 Flash drive, format it as FAT32 and select the top level files from the .dmg and drag them to the USB2. This USB2 will be your drivers installation USB. You can run setup.exe in the Bootcamp folder to install all the drivers. If you need to install individual drivers, check the individual vendor folders.
I've tried both connection, different wifi's, different places, yet it still the same, my thought is that this isn't on me, but on Apple, since I could watch 720p60fps just fine on YT, I even managed to download the driver through brigadier
The GIT link provides scripts, which you can readily use. You do not need to 'build'. Look at the description of the utility brigadier.
