Currently running 10.10.5 Yosemite. Downloading El Capitan from iTunes store. Should it take 10 hrs to download.? This doesn't seem right.
 
pause and restart... Yesterday when I was downloading El Capitan it stated 1 days to 2 days... I did the Pause restart trick I was done after 2 hours.

Thanks for the tip. I tried your suggestion and it still will not speed things up. What a **** show. Not good Tim,not good at all.
 
I tried that pause restart but it still took me 4 hours to download and another 2 hours to install ... it was so bad that I thought the install was hung up ... but it finished everything in 6 hours and 15 minutes for me.

Its not just him, go to reddit and you'll see that people are getting incredibly slow downloads. I have a 50mbps connection and mine has been downloading since this morning and it fluctuates between 1-3 days remaining...Friggin horrendous

It took me about 13 hours to download, because my ISP had a fault that caused problems with connections to Apple's servers.

Not sure how a performance fault could be so specific, but it happened, so I'm not questioning the how or why, just glad it seems to be resolved.
