I have El Capitan installed.
However, I want to download the El Cap installer, make a bootable thumb drive and install it clean on a new SSD.
In the App store, I can initiate a download (I *think*??) but have no way of knowing if it's download or not, other than an endlessly spinning progress wheel in the upper left corner of the App store window (see pic).
I am on the Purchased tabs and if I change tabs and go back the spinning wheel goes away and the download button becomes active again. No sign of the (partial) download anywhere. WTF?
Is there any way to download this mafk and monitor it like a civilized human being, i.e. with a download manager that doesn't quit unless you power down and with a progress bar that let's you know where you are in the multi gig download?
