Just because you think there is no internet connection problem does not mean it is true. You received that message for a reason. It means that during your download something affected the file. Usually it means that you were using Wi Fi. Sometimes Wi-Fi works just fine. Sometimes not. Often it is too slow for these very large downloads. When that happens, the solution is to use a wired Ethernet connection even if it means having to temporarily move the computer to do so. That will usually resolve the problem. If not, please let us know.
