What is your internet download speed ? Are you certain that you did steps 4 and 5 ?

4. Rt. click and open BuildMacOSinstallapp.command
5. Drag & Drop the InstallESDDmg.pkg file into the Terminal Window
 
maximum 20 mbps
I did that ...
The downloaded InstallESDDmg.pkg was 5.4 gb not 7.7 gb ...so there was an error in download

Maybe restart your router to see if that helps the speeds.
 
I did that yesterday when i tried it for the first time. The results were the same. ...Its definitely not the router. Right now I am downloading at 1.7MB/s

There are more people on the internet and a lot of traffic that will slow speeds down. It's to be expected these days.

Do you have a Windows machine you could try it on? It shouldn't make any difference but anything is worth a try.

This is understandable ... but 160KB/s average on four attempts in 2 days........it's slow....
