El Capitan download keeps stalling at a couple of gigabytes and now a few other Apps won't download on the Mac App Store

Other apps and games do download, I have tried many fixes but nothing is resolving the El Capitan download or the other two apps, it keeps saying "try and download from the purchased tab" but then fails and says an error has occurred.

I have tried deleting the partially downloaded apps from the App folder, deleting the app data from the c drive com.apple.appstore, reseting application under the debug tab in App Store, clear cookies, restarted, changed IP network to 8.8.8.8 which was suggested on one site, log into App Store with a guest account, but none of these things in sorting it. I get the sense there might be some other partially downloaded of corrupted file associated with the apps concerned blocking their download.

If anyone knows of anything that could solve this I would appreciate it.
