Interruption of iPod software downloading in iTunes

Hi,
iTunes propose a software update for my iPod touch
The download begin but interrupt shortly, error 9006 (network error),
don't know why, others downloads work perfectly, occurs only with Apple servers,
same problem with automatic software updating of MacOs X,
but I usually solve the problem using iGetter and installing manually the package.
That is not possible for iTunes, as I don't know how to make manually the updating of iPod software.
A solution ?
Thanks for your help ?

Hi There,

I had the same problem, however fortunately there is a solution. There is a way of downloading the iPod Touch software manually. Below is a link to a website that contains all the iPod software packages. All you need to do is download the required piece of software (which is currently 4.1) then when in iTunes. Hold down the shift key and click restore or update in iTunes where you iPod Touch is displayed, this will display a windows which will ask you to locate the package, locate it to the directory you saved the download and click ok, this will then extract and install the software package update to your iPod Touch.
