I wonder if anyone has that issue. I downloaded Lion on my MacAir, installed and all was ok, then tried to download it on my MacBook Pro - download reaches 10.4 MB and starts from 0 again. After doing that for about 10min, screen pops up telling me that I must check my internet connection and try again. Tried everything - restarted download, Mac, router, logged out and in the appstore- every time download reaches only about 10.4MB and starts again.
Got a tip for us?

Problem re-downloading lion on second Mac

That's internet problem. For some reason it is not getting a stable connection. Try plugging in ethernet cable and then doing it.
Same Problem
I have exactly the same problem. I doubt that it has anything to do with the internet connection. I phoned my service provider. They gave me a new IP. I even successfully downloaded other software from apple and it worked.
My guess is, that a certain file coming after 10,4 MB is corrupt. However I have no idea what to do.

In hindsight I should have done it (no excuse, but I only very recently switched to Mac), but after installation the download is deleted.
So the new question for me is how to make a bootable lion AFTER installation.
Unfortunately we can't re-download it because it keeps restarting after 10,4 MB (see the first post of the thread).

Just tried the download again and wonder it is working today.
