You seem to be assuming that people were using and/or aware of snow leopard at 10.6.0. For me, my first experience with OSX was 10.6.2. That was a decent version, 10.6.3 was better and still the most stable and fluid of all versions of OSX that I've used.
That happened to me too. I could not get the download to resume. I had to reboot my Mac before I could resume. It did not effect my download speed though. Still stuck at 6 days to download.
I assume Apple's servers are getting hammered, and given the download size is 6GB it will probably take awhile to clear.
Looks like I am not updating to El Capitan today.
So I opened App Store... Found 1 update - it's for Digital Camera RAW Update for digital processing of photos.
Searched for El Capitan ... Selected download.
Now it is DOWNLOADING - 12:48 PM start.
Nothing showing up when the download arrow (in the menu bar) is selected.
Install screen showed up at 12:56 PM. Still nothing in Downloads.
Available space decreased by about 5 GB.
Where is it?
I do not intend on installing it until the early adopters have reported on its bugs.

Nothing wrong with me assuming when nobody says how far back they've been on Mac either. Furthermore the ones that are claiming Snow Leopard was the best version of OS X are assuming that it really was when they haven't used all versions. Thank you.
Neither Outlook 2011 or Outlook 2016 will run properly after updating to El Capitan - I have the latest versions on both Outlooks... they both freeze after a few moments.
What happened to the clicktoflash extension for safari? What would I use to download videos now?
There was an update to Outlook 2016 today, have you downloaded it? I have not encountered problems with Outlook 2016 on my Macbook Air 2013 and El Capitan, yet. Had to add that "yet".

Tried to reboot, still won't resume the download. Guess I will go to bed.
I've had El Capitan on my an early 2009 Macbook pro for some weeks and it's worked great. In the end it is up to you.
My first install did not work. Lost dock and none of the applications showed up.
Using command-r to use recovery partitiion to re-install. I not the only one with a macbook pro and that doesn't work anymore, from what I've read on apple discussion boards.

I had that problem, rebooted, paused and resumed and now i'm getting like 15MB/sec. I was getting 15K/sec before and after pausing/resume like 10 times it just decided to stop.
Don't know about the others, but Apple's systems are so well designed I don't even bother to do that anymore.
what??? LOL
Is anybody still using Quicken 2007 and Office 2008 for Mac? If so do these work OK on El Capitan? They work fine on Yosemite so I'm hoping everything is OK with El capital, but I think I'll wait till I hear a confirmation.
I'm talking with someone on AppleCare online chat support. I'll update you on how to fix it if I find out!
UPDATE:
Okay, here is the fix! If you aren't using iPhoto (I don't even think you can since the new Photos app is out, right?) Open finder. Go under Applications. Find iPhoto (mine was grayed out with a white cancel sign over it [a circle with a diagonal line through it]) and drag and drop the icon into your Trash can. Then empty your trash can. Close the App Store app if it's open, then reopen it and the alert should be gone.

My excitement doubles when today I received an MBP 15" full specs from work as a replacement for my existing one.
I immediately did a full wipe and reinstall... but OMG!!! It's installing Yosemite. I'm very sad! I'd rather have El Capitan installed fresh than having Yosemite with the update on top.... but I don't think I have any other choice. Tomorrow afternoon I'm expected to do work on this system already

I appreciate the response, but that wasn't really what I was asking. 10.8 support definitively ended today with the release of 10.11 (Apple only supports the two previous releases with security and Safari patches). Rather, fixes in security logs provided by Apple's Product Security team often specify which OS's the fixes patched. But in the case of the updates today, all the fixes listed for El Cap state that they are available for 10.6.8 or later. I can't figure out if that means all versions are susceptible and the only solution is to use 10.11 (thus ending Apple's unspoken policy of providing system security patches to both Mavericks and Yosemite) or if it just means that the "patch" (El Cap) is available for all those versions. Regardless, it doesn't answer the question of where is the purported "Security Update 2015-007" that one would otherwise expect to be pushed to 10.9.5 and 10.10.5 following the release of 10.11 (and the disclosure/patching of the reported vulnerabilities) as has been the case with past x.0 and x.x releases.
Tl;dr, does anyone know why Mavericks (and seemingly Yosemite) aren't receiving system security patches anymore?
