Unable to download MacOS

Why can't I download MacOS? There is no response when I click to download. I hope this problem can be solved in the future

截屏2021-10-15 下午1 24 24 I tried to download MacOS Monterey through this link. After downloading, I opened it through bigmac2, but after opening it, I was told that this update could not be installed on this computer

With the installer app installed, the next step is to create the installer disk from big mac with Monterey or Big Sur popup menu pre-selected.

Unless you are using Open Core Legacy Patcher with Bigmac, I do not recommend anything over 11.2.3. I have not had to time introduce OCLP to BigMac to help overcome the race conditions present after 11.2.3.

Yes, I tried to pre select Monterey or Big Sur to create an installer disk. Similarly, the download speed is very slow, about 10KB per second, and the download stops when it reaches about 50%

Download using curl. The downloads are directly from apple btw. I have no control over their CDN.

I can't download BigSur 11.2.3, it just hangs there.

11.2.3 is not available for download any longer. Apple only keeps older downloads around for more than a few months.. You can try getting 11.2.3 from an internet archive. I have updated the links in the source code to use 11.6.1 and 12.0.1, but it will need assistance from Open Core Boot Loader to get around race conditions.
