I downloaded the update and the complete installer without problems

Try a different browser
Use a download manager

Failed to me a couple of times also
heres what I eventually done, using firefox (after it crapped out after 8GB)
I renamed the .part file and then redownloaded it, pressed pause, copy the old file over the new one and press resume download, it will start downloading from the place it crapped out at (in my case 8GB)
