[wp-testers] Auto upgrade to 2.8 not working?

[Kirk M]

Is anyone else having a problem with the WP auto upgrade 
stopping at "Downloading update from 
http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.zip"?

I don't have any problem updating manually but I always like 
to check out the auto upgrade function to any new version. 
I've never encountered a problem before but this time it stops 
at the above notification with the browser reporting it's 
"Done" loading the page (where it only reports "Done" once the 
upgrade is complete). Nothing is downloaded and nothing is in 
the "Upgrade" directory online.

Possible server problem? It's also possible that I'm running 
the latest version of Firefox on Ubuntu 9.0.4 but I doubt it.
