I cannot complete the update download for some reason. Do I need to open something to allow for the download to complete?

I try (on several occasions) to connect with the server to download updates, but the "bar" just keeps twirling without success. Consequently, I am unable to get the updates.

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
