When trying to update to Big Sur 11.2.1 i receive the following message: "An error occurred while downloading the selected updates. Please check your internet connection and try again." There is no problem with my internet connection. I purchased this MacBookPro about a week ago, so I'm sure there isn't a space issue. Please help.

Are you currently using Big Sur 11.1. As I too get the same exact message with my Mac Mini 2014. When I am using Big Sur 11.1.
I would go to Internet Recovery to download the Big Sur 12.2.1. As I am using Intel Mac. This is also occurs with the Apple Silicon M1 Mac.

Same problem for me. I also had the problem with 11.2. Tried in safe mode, no "luck".

Some "suggests" that resetting NVM can fix it. Other says the "solution" is to do a reinstall. But these is work-arounds and not fixes.

Apple, Wake up and fix your update process. At least acknowledge the issue!

Any luck with PRAM Reset???

I used Command R and do the Internet Recovery Methods connecting to the internet. With my Mac Mini late 2014.

If the download completes successfully, but macOS Big Sur won’t install, there are a few things you should try.
Reboot your Mac in Safe Mode by holding down Shift while it boots. Then try and install Big Sur again.
Reset NVRAM. Shut down your Mac. Boot it while holding Cmd + Option + P + R. Release the keys when you hear the startup chime or see the Apple logo on screen.
