Arrrgh. Once again, I have got to over 4Gb of download for Mountain Lion and the download has failed. I was not at the computer when it failed, so do not know what it had got to. The last time I looked it was 4.10Gb. It may have even completed the download. This download had taken over 36 hours, with no other normal processes breaking it. Sleeping the computer, other internet access, regular computer use, all occurred in that 36 hours. Restarting WILL lose the download I discovered. The error messages are at http://www.peoplehelp.com.au/images/Mountain%20Lion%20failed%20download.png I have been able to download other .dmg, including updates and new purchases from the AppStore plenty of times, just not this big download of Mountain Lion. I've searched through Console to see if it will tell me anything useful, but I'm not sure what I am looking for. Given my other downloads have worked, I'm guessing there is nothing in my modem or router firewall type settings that would be a reason for the download to stop so close to finishing. The Mac Mini's Hard drive has 80Gb free out of 320Gb. Each night the permissions are reset by Super Duper before creating a clone. I'm at a loss at why this is happening. Next step will be to take to an Apple Store. Does anyone know if I need to take the Mini into the store, or whether they will put Mountain Lion on a USB drive for me?
