how to download xcode manually
STEPS
1. Download wget
brew install wget
2. Download a cookie exporter extension for the browser
For Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookiestxt/njabckikapfpffapmjgojcnbfjonfjfg?hl=en
For Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-exporter/
3. Download Xcode from Apple developer website
https://developer.apple.com/download/
INSTRUCTIONS
Login to Apple Developer website using browser and start downloading the required xcode version (you will be
redirected to the app store) file normally.
On the download page press the cookie exporter extension and save the cookie.txt in Download Folder (choose any location you like).
Now you can stop the download on the app store.
Open Terminal and change directory to downloads folder or whatever the folder you saved the cookies.txt file.
Execute the following command( NOTE: Change the version accordingly)
wget --load-cookies=cookies.txt -c http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_10.1/Xcode_10.1.dmg
Thats all, download will start and if it interrupts wget will try to resume on its own. You can stop and resume download too.
