surely the downloading itself isn't the problem?
then you can

burn it on a CD or a DVD and boot from that
even point grub to boot straight from the .iso (this has been discussed here and elsewhere, use the search)

Code:

wget --spider http://nyc3.dl.elementary.io/downloa...e.20181016.iso

Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK

Length: 1478492160 (1.4G) [application/octet-stream]

Remote file exists.

http://nyc3.dl.elementary.io/downloa...e.20181016.iso is apparently now useless. Wget fetched a 9160 byte .iso with null content. Apparently there's no way to test drive Elementary for free. At least, I struck out trying to find a way.

I tried simply 0 and got no response. It didn't occur to me to try a formatted 0, or a WebKit or Blink browser.
