  • wait another hour or 2, maybe it gets unstuck before you kill the install process, since that can not so funny results.

Not long to start the install. Open the log file and look for progress. Command-L and then Command-3 shows all details.

It all depends on your internet speed, such as a slow 3mbps (megabits, not megabytes per second) or a fast 40mbps. You can calculate the time it should take by dividing your connection speed (in megabits) by 8 (8 bits in a byte), then dividing your download size (in megabytes) by that number. I use an iPhone app called Ookla Speedtest, it's free, but ad-supported and seems to work well.
