I have just updated my wife's MacBook Pro (macOS Mojave), my iMac (macOS Mojave) and my older iMac macOS (High Sierra) - no problems, but beware:
In each case, the download was fairly quick (depends on your Internet), but what was a surprise to me was the following:
1. In each case the download proceeded to a point, after about 10 minutes, where it said "lost contact with server" and in each case re-downloading started the process and completed in minutes.
2. The Installation involved 4 reboots of the Mac and took, in total, about 35 minutes.
All is well on all 3 Macs.
I post this because some folks might get alarmed by the "interrupted download" and even more concerned by the lengthy installation and reboots.
It's a long time since I encountered this and thought it worthwhile cautioning others to be patient and not to be afraid of the "lost server" message or the longish installation & reboots.
Of course, my experience might not be yours; but if it is - don't worry
