El Capitan Os X Download

I go to App Store, I click on download button on OS X El Capitan (it is listed under Utilities), and nothing happens and the El Capitan is not downloaded, nor does it change the status to 'Downloading'. I don't think it is downloading. I also tried to log in as root to the mac and now the App Store won't work – it keeps spinning the spinner sign and nothing happens, I can't even type the letters 'El Capitan' in the search box. Anyone has any other link, URL for downloading of El Capitan, other than the one on App Store? Losing my faith in Apple slowly……
I am on Macbook 7.1 (Mid-2010).

Upgrade from previous versions to OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)

All macOS versions, El Cap & earlier have now gone from the app store if you are on Sierra or higher. Edit 2016: This is true for any OS except El Capitan - Apple are leaving it available so devices ineligible for Sierra can still obtain it.

I managed to find an OSX El Capitan.dmg file, but that doesn't seem to work with the createinstallmedia tool. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
