11.2.1 download failed twice

[Quackers]

It tells me to look at my internet connection but that's solid on fibre.
Interestingly after the first failure and trying again the download started right from the beginning again. Unusual in my experience.
Ho hum.

Mine has tried downloading loads ... failed each time at the end on my M1 MBP and MBA ... sorted easily on my Intel iMac in no time.

The M1 MBP got it downloaded after about 10 goes ... now my M1 MBA is trying and failing ... I guess too many people trying ?

Use MDS. It will download the update a lot quicker than the App Store. You can also make a USB installer with the program as well. You can also download beta versions using this app.
Edite to add: I just checked and 11.2.1 isn't listed, yet. It should be in the next day or so.

Maybe, yes.
I'll try again during the evening

I've got it installed on both M1 Macs now by doing a restart ... after that it doesn't crash out !

Reboot seems to have done the trick
