Mojave Download Stalls Out

I am trying to download Mojave via the App Store, and the download will only get to either 303kb or 512kb before it stalls out and does nothing... Can anyone offer any advice? I have been trying to download at various times of the day for 3 days now...


Any help is greatly appreciated!

There are factors:


1 - Like poor Wifi connection


2 - Slow wifi connection


3 - Too many other people downloading at the same time and Apple Severs are overloaded


4 - Software on the computer interfering with the download process including AntiVirus Software


5 - Running behind a VPN which may increase Packet losses and may corrupt the download.


6 - If via wifi too many Other devices using the wifi at the same time reducing the Bandwidth to your computer. 


7 - Best Results are via Ethernet Cable to Router
