Osx Mavericks failed to download aditional content

Question

Hello,
My Mac mini's hard drive crashed. So i installed a new ssd and found that someone tried to eat my original install dvd.
So i downloaded a mavericks installer.app on my Apple id. at my buddy's house.
I made a bootable USB drive with the installer on it and the installer works fine but the osx macericks installer failed to download aditional content time after time. Even after waiting more than 10 hours. I'm on a 50mb broadband  network so that should not be the problem.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Its a Mac mini (mid 2010) 2.4ghz 8 gb 265gb ssd

If your computer is capable of doing Internet Recovery, then you might try that instead:
Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery indicates that you can do a firmware update for this.
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
            if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
You can skip the steps about partitioning and formatting since you said you've done this already.
