[QUOTE="krs, post: 1813091, member: 67742"] I finally found the time to boot into my El Capitan test backup to try the various ways to try to get the complete HS installer to down load, and guess what.... Went to the app store, downloaded HS the way I always did before - the download started quickly, it looked as if the download would be the 22MB part again, but just before the process bar was about to reach the end, it stopped, minutes estimated for download increased, and I thought the whole installer was downloaded because it took a lot longer than last time. But in the end, when I checked the size, it was still only 22MB. So then I decided to try the HS patcher route following the instructions. Pretty straight forward once you get to the download site. The download of the installer took 16 minutes, size was 5779.1MB I used Disk Creator to make the bootable USB Flash drive rather than Disk Maker X, found that a bit easier since I don't have to relog in as an Admin. So far all looks good - I have not actually tried using the USB installer yet [/QUOTE]
