Slightly OT: downloading Xcode

[Richmond]

Cripes!

xCode 12.2. beta 2 takes up 10.5 GB of space . . . wonder what the bloat 
is: Tim Cook's unwashed laundry?

Downloading Xcode - which is reported to be an 8.12GB file - at a speed of between 300 and 750 KB/sec is a nightmare. If the download speed drops below some unspecified limit, the download stops and has to be resumed in Safari, but that's not the worst of it. If I leave the download overnight, having got say 4 out of 8 Gb loaded, when look at the download folder in the morning, it only contains 14 bytes, necessitating a complete reload! There isn't even anything in the Trash. What's that about, and is there any way I can simply accumulate the download bit by bit until it's all finished?
