Reset my Mac won't let me download OS El Capitan

I'm reset my Mac to give away but when I try to download a new OS it only lets me choose El Capitan but when it gets to the end of downloading it after it's downloaded it to my hard drive, it tells me that it is unable to download. I would like to learn how to either switch the OS or get this one to work
