Hi guys.

My dad is trying to restore his 2011 iMac but having problems downloading El Capitan.

He has erased the old install and entered his iTunes password and started to download a new install but its downloading extremely slow.

We left it over night last night and it was still downloading in the morning with 43 hours remaining and then started the download again before work this morning, only to come home and notice its still downloading with 4 hours and 19mins left. It is downloading via WiFi but I've done a speed test on the connection and its running at full speed.

Anything else we can try? I could try ethernet but not sure that will make much difference?

Thanks for any help.
