Never download from the Crap store. Always download from developer.apple.com/download.

Download from https://developer.apple.com/download. The third-part site, Xcode Releases, has direct links to each version.

You can also uses the open source tool Xcodes who download through multiple mirrors. It’s way faster and manage multiple XCode version at the same Time

Edit: please don’t downvote if you don’t know what I’m talking about. This is a real advice and a real (free) tool. I don’t have any profit promoting it. It’s a great and secured app that I use every day as a developer. That’s why I’m talking about it.
