Repeatedly losing network connection

I have been trying for days to download the Big Sur version of the Apple OS without success. After some time, (this morning I was able to get 10 Gigs of the 12G downloaded) I get an error message that the network connection was lost. This has happened regardless of time of day or night, ususlly I get much less downloaded.I have run through an enormous amount of data trying to get this update. I am fairly sure this is a HughesNet issue as other downloads from other sources go normally. I would appreciate some input or help here, also, if you would like to restore some data (I saw my "Bonus" date drop from 22% to 12% this morning) that would be appreciated and appropriate.

So, I posted this issue on the Apple support community site, and got helpful answers in just a day. I was able to set up a wired connection, took about 12-14 hours, but the download finished. Nothing to do with Century Link.
