There are factors:


1 - Like poor Wifi connection


2 - Slow wifi connection


3 - Too many other people downloading at the same time and Apple Severs are overloaded


4 - Software on the computer interfering with the download process including AntiVirus Software


5 - Running behind a VPN which may increase Packet losses


6 - If via wifi too many Other devices using the wifi at the same time reducing the Bandwidth to your computer


7 - Best Results are via Ethernet Cable to Router

This is the same lame excuse every time. Please explain why BigSur and all my other updates have installed with no problem. Apple has been trying to get me to upgrade for over a month to Monterey and this happens every time. The last BigSur upgrade installed with no problem. Either Apple has a problem with this OS upgrade or not enough capacity to allow downloads.
