Comment 3 for bug 976761

The updater ran and asked for the password. It updated and seemed to
complete.
I turned off networking and left. When I returned, the dialogue box said
that post-update
data download had failed and asked if it should retry. I agreed, but had
not turned on the
net. It failed again. I turned on networking and said to retry. Then the
error occurred again
and continues.

Hope this helps.
