Can't download High Sierra

[BorisBlade013]

Trying to download High Sierra to put on USB drive

Using OSX 10.10.5, get High Sierra in app store, downloads an installer application that is 19.7MB then automatically starts install on the mac. Error on Unibeast says selected installer is incomplete to delete and redownload it.

How do I get the full High Sierra to download so that I can run unibeast without an error.

I get the same 19.7 MB download.
Happened when on 10.12.6 I tried to download macOS 10.13.1

UPDATE: This article talks about issue http://osxdaily.com/2017/09/27/download-complete-macos-high-sierra-installer/
And this tool will help you download High Sierra Installer (if you read osxdaily article it has link to the download tool, I mirror it here, below).

I downloaded according to the referenced link (http://osxdaily.com/2017/09/27/download-complete-macos-high-sierra-installer/) from emdirector, and I was able to create the drive using Unibeast. Note that the Unibeast tool took like 30 minutes to complete, and the progress bar just stayed put (I thought it wasn't working). Haven't tried installing yet, so that's the real test!

I cannot download High Sierra because even though I am currently running OS 10.10.5, I am using an early 2008 iMac which is not compatible with HS. How do I get a download?

You'll need to re-download El Capitan (from under Purchased tab) make a Unibeast installer of that and install it to your newer hardware/build. Then you'll get access to High Sierra when you sign into the MAS from that system.
