For what it's worth, I'm also unsuccessful at the update, but it does not appear to be due to delays or network traffic, but rather the same problem that Al reported yesterday.  Stata is telling me that my files are up to date, yet I know them not to be.

I would say that we need to be fair here, and acknowledge that there used to
be no such thing as a "utility update" in the past. The two manuals that had
to be transferred to (probably) thousands of Stata 11 users last night, [D]
and [R], "weigh" a cool 23 MB combined. With many simultaneous requests, I
can understand that network infrastructure would be struggling to deliver
this volume of data fast. Comparisons with updates for -version- 10 and
prior are hence terribly skewed in favor of the past...

I did and it succeeded eventually, but took far longer than my past
experiences.

Good to know I wasn't the only one though.

Cheers,
