Note: On Mac App Store, the estimated download time was around 15 hours on a 2 Mbps connection. The only thing you have skipped here is the annoying download interruptions and slow download speeds.
The end result is the same as you would get if you had downloaded OS X El Capitan directly from MAS. We’ll then configure the system in such a way that the MAS downloads and installs the new version of OS X from the locally downloaded raw package, instead of the one available on the Apple server. This will accelerate the download speed, and reduce the risk of download error at the same time.
In this workaround, we’ll be downloading the raw package directly from the Apple server using a suitable download manager. While downloading the package, MAS processes and converts it into an executable (.app) file, which can then be installed on your Mac. This raw file is not installable on its own. When you download OS X El Capitan using the Mac App Store, a raw package (.pkg) file is downloaded from the Apple server.

Check out how to get macOS Sierra from outside the Mac App Store. That was after the MAS download got interrupted 6 times in a row, and I had wasted more than 15 GB of data on a single download of 6.08 GB. It was only a few hours back that I was successfully able to upgrade my Mac. However, my experience with the upgrade process was not a pleasant one. The OS upgrade is highly recommended as it vastly improves the performance of Macs (that are capable of running Yosemite).
I was very excited about the release of OS X El Capitan earlier this week.
