Same error here. Did the fixit and even did a suggested steps to stop

I did NOT get an error. Overall the whole big update downloaded and
installed just fine. That said, my download counter sat on 4% for quite
a while (5~10 min?), then jumped up to 60% and worked it's way gradually
up to 90% where it stopped for 5 (or so) more minutes before finally
completing the download and beginning to install. I don't think I've
ever seen one of these count down indicators ever work really well. I
sometimes wonder why they bother.

I didn't time it but the whole thing took quite a bit longer than your
typical average little update. I think patience is the key here.

I suspect that it may only update the percentage counter when a file has
completed its download.

So a lot of small files may look like a relatively well reported download
but a few big files may make the whole thing look as though it is stuck.

As you say, not a great deal of use.
