I have a 2011 Macbook Air (a1370) that was stuck on the boot screen with the spinning wheel.

I booted into internet recovery and from Disk Utility wiped the SSD clean. When I then tried to reinstall Lion through recovery, I kept getting the error 'Can't download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X.' Avoiding this error, I made an install USB with TransMac and attempted to boot from that, but there are no drives listed, including the internal SSD.

• I’m installing macOS Yosemite on my 11” MacBook Air, but it gets stuck at 'downloading additional components' and it says 2 minutes left. It's already more then 11 hours that I’m waiting and I don't think this is normal.

Weird time estimate

May 13, 2015 MacBook Air is stuck at “Downloading Additional Components”. Asked 6 years, 3 months ago. Active 3 years, 2 months ago. Viewed 21k times. I recently reset my MacBook Air to its factory settings. I am now reinstalling os x yosemite but the installing process is taking forever. Is it the wifi that's having problems?
