Long story short: I'm on OSX 10.6.8 and I'm trying to download the Yosemite package in order to (re)create a bootable USB.
When I go to the App Store, I go to the first tab and click on "Free" under yosemite and the OSX icon appears on the bottom bar:
If I hover over it it says "Downloading…". I wanted to check out the speed and progress of the download, but apparently if I go to App Store > Purchased tab, what I see is this:
while, as I understand, there should be informations about the current download.
I've already done this process once already from 10.6.8 on the same computer and I succeeded. This is a clean install of Snow Leopard (updated to 10.6.8) though and my download speed is very low (0.99Mb/s vs 5Mb/s I had back then) this week.
I've tried canceling the download, trying again. I've tried restarting (also shutting down and then manually start it again), as well as canceling and restarting the download numerous times. I've also tried starting the download from the Purchased tab, but that doesn't seem to start the download and just makes the "Download" button go back grey again. Even waiting for a while doesn't show any message and/or progress.
What should I do next?

I've solved this by making sure there were no updates left. Basically after the first "cycle of updates" after a clean install, new updates are silently "unlocked". You need to run all updates. One of them fixes the problem.
