If you’re doing this over Wi-Fi then get as close as you can to your router. IE: be in the same room. If you can use an Ethernet cable then do so as it’s more reliable. If there are others in your household then ask them to refrain from using the internet whilst you’re trying to do it. Check your broadband download bandwidth and reliability with your ISP. Maybe it’s not good enough? Failing that download the high sierra dmg and install it that way.


Good luck.
