For other macOS and OS X releases, check our earlier articles in this series. Note: This post is specific to macOS Big Sur direct download from Apple servers. In this article, we’ll explore a way to download macOS Big Sur directly from the Apple server instead of via the MAS/System Preferences, using your favorite web browser or a dedicated download manager. Thus, many users would still look for direct download links for Big Sur, primarily for faster downloads through download managers, along with resume support in case it gets interrupted. And though you’re less likely to face download issues, such as slow downloading speeds, unable to resume download, interrupted download, frequent disconnection, etc., while downloading the Big Sur update via System Preferences or Mac App Store, it’s still probable. Of course, the macOS system update experience has improved greatly over time. And like previous years, Apple’s servers will be busy serving a high volume of download requests, at least for the first few days. Apple has released macOS Big Sur for all users.
