macOS ISO Download Links

When I wanted to create a macOS VM, using this wonderful guide from i12bretro, I found it difficult to find the Download Links for the macOS ISOs. So I decided to create them myself, using MIST - macOS Installer Super Tool, or by manually converting the installer. I'm now sharing them here, so no one else has to face the same hassle.

[!IMPORTANT] Due to Contabo limiting my bandwidth to only 100 Mbit/s because my STORAGE VPS is exceeding their set average bandwidth, Ive added torrents and purchased a Seedbox. Feel free to download and seed them! Contabo did suggest an alternative, but it starts at €40/month with about 1/4 of the storage, so thats definitely not an option.

But you can of course also just browse the folder itself and download the ISOs from there.

FAQ

Why not upload them using Github LFS?

With GitHub LFS, a "data pack" costs approximately €5 per month for 50GB of storage. The Storage-VPS I'm using also costs around 5€ per month, but with 800GB of SSD storage. So I decided to host the files myself.

Who needs these ISOs?

To create the ISOs, you need an existing macOS installation, which can be hard if you want to create a macOS VM. So these ISOs are for people who want to create a macOS VM, but don't have a macOS installation. (Like me)

I want an ISO that is not listed here, what can I do?

You can either create the ISO yourself, or open an issue and I will try to create the ISO for you as soon as possible.

How can I trust these ISOs?

You really can't. Other than me telling you that I created them using MIST and have not modified them in any way, there isn't a lot I can do to prove the integrity of these ISOs. But you can always create the ISOs yourself using MIST and compare the MD5 hashes. I mainly created this repo for myself anyways, so that I don't have to go trough the same struggle again.
