Download will depend on internet connection.
But for me 6gb was about an hour
The install is about 30 minutes or so.
Suggest you run onyx before installing to clean up system.
I did that on 2nd computer and it installed without any hitches.
1st computer it hung at 16 min left.
rebooted and was ok

As previous poster mentioned, the download depending on speed of internet and how many others are downloading the same time as you.
Installation on early 2016 Retina MacBook took about 60 minutes. Late 2012 21.5 Inch iMac with rotational HD took about 65 minutes. Each installed from SAFE BOOT and upgraded from Clean Install of HS 10.13.6
I booted into Recovery, and ran Disk Utility First Aid on the boot drive. I allowed one last Time Machine backup. The 6GB download took about 14 minutes, and the trouble-free installation took another 30 minutes or so. My Internet connection averages 76Mbps. Traceroute shows that I am 9 hops from Apple, though I am over 2300 miles away.
I absolutely never run Onyx or any other tool on my Macs, as they run perfectly without it, or any other so-called cleaning tools.
re onyX.
It has got me out of problems easily when first aid has not.
dont use it often but worth it when I do.
I have a download speed of 95.4 mbbs (speedtest), and I've got 5.45 gb out of 6 completed, and I started yesterday afternoon. So I am in hour 17 with probably a few hours to go. This must be because it's the weekend and everyone is getting around to downloading it?? It's not my macbook, which is about 12% filled (I'm more an ipad/iphone user and use my macbook for very little besides watching Netflix). Any thoughts - could I have down anything differently?
well i dont have a fraction of that download speed and it took about 30 mins to download.
I suggest you cancel and start again.
i would suggest you run a disk maintenance on your HD before you do install.
At this point, I will play it out. If I'd been home earlier I might have cancelled. I sure hope it works when the download is complete. Thanks for your info.
Still worth doing disk utility check before you do the install.
it might prevent a fail and some heartache if it falls over.
Good idea. Will do.
