The only official legal way is from Apple via the App Store. The App Store has had periods of problems lately. Try again later.

I should have been clearer. When I posted "Try again later", I meant on another day. I tried a download on the weekend and it would not complete. I tried a day later during the week and everything went smoothly.

Everyone has been trying to update for the last 2 1/2 weeks since launch. The servers have been jammed. Just keep trying it will work eventually.
