Failed to update iOS 6.1

I'm downloading iOS 6.1 on my iPod Touch, 5th Generation from 6.0.1. I downloaded it, and it said "must be 50% battery to install" I plugged it in, tapped install now, and a couple seconds later, it popped up saying "Verification of the iOS 6.1 update failed because you are no longer connected to the Internet" The odd thing? I am connected to the internet and I have a perfect connection. Do we have any solutions?

iPod touch, iOS 6.0.1, 5th Generation

it was updating fine for me but then my ipod went to sleep mode and got disconnected from the internet and then it told me to try downloading again, so i did but it keeps sayin it cant verify because i have no connection :( as far as i can tell, if during the update u interrupted the update in anyway then it gives u the error but i might be wrong. OZ1980 has a valid point which we should all consider.
