Apple downloads try to determine how fast your connection is. Then they download at that speed. They sometimes guess WRONG, and send the data so slowly it will take a day or more to complete.

If you CANCEL that slow download, and ask for the software again, they will make a new guess about the speed of your connection, and may send the download to you faster.

Download the installer, quit it, and run the application in lllaass's link will make a bootable USB drive. The program does all the work for you.

Clean Install

Instructions are here, but it is easier to do it than explain how to do it.
