Big Sur 11.1 update failing

Hi - currently running Big Sur 11.0.1 on my iMac (Retina 5K 27-inch); there is a new update 11.1, which keeps failing - after it clearly and fully downloads, the update crashes after couple of minutes with the error message "download failed"; rebooted couple of times, same error message

iMac 27″, macOS 11.0

If you are using Wi-Fi, use a wired Ethernet connection instead to avoid corruption to the file.
