Download the update from Apple or restart SU: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1057update.html
did my update it took forever to down load, but no problems at all.
actually the download is quick for me, i just hope it doesnt give me that ridiculous error this time around
I have the same problem so I used the link on the Macrumors article for the 10.5.7 update. When it was time to restart however, I clicked the Restart button on the installer and it just greyed out but didn't actually restart the computer. I had to hold the power button on my Early Macbook Pro, my computer restarted twice and went smooth from there.
Also, Safari 4 is finally compatible with Hotmail! No more switching to Firefox.
Update worked fine on my UMBP.
On my iMac, I got the revolving screen error, restart sorted it all out.
Haven't noticed any real difference yet.

So... my Mac Pro froze when it was installing, when it said, "Running Installer Script." So I manually shut down and restarted. Then when I went to "About This Mac", it says that I have 10.5.7. How do I know whether or not the update really worked or not... ?
All is well here.
Downloaded the Combo from Apple and installed on my 2008 Mac Pro without any issues.
Took about five minutes from beginning to end.
... and I know the snappy thing is a running joke but, honestly, web pages load significantly faster for me in the new 3.2.3 version of Safari. The one or two second "pause" that I'd get before a page would even begin to load is gone. Pages now load instantly.

Possible Fix for Error Message
Possible fix for error message. I got it too and tried to d-load twice, no go. I restarted and emptied my trash (10.5.7 packages were in there, not sure if that mattered) and tried d-loading it again and worked no problems.
Hope that helps all of you with the error message.

I've managed to pull of a decent enough look on the resolution now, but the text is vague and blurry, but some edges are good though. It's the weirdest thing I've seen an OS break in a long time.
I'm wondering if apple is going to do a quick and silent update so no one knows, (meaning within the next 6 hours), or they'll do a patch which we'll have to wait 2 months for.
Which ever way they'll go we're stuck with this for a while, that's the usual routine. And then people wonder why MacOS 10.6 is going to be a hard sell with now visible updates and a potentially dangerous update to machines that might not end up in the best shape afterwards.
I'm loosing faith in Apple.... AND fast...
They're not doing any justice in their OS... it's all about the iPhone and iTunes now... the rest it seems is not important. Like my MacBook Pro with the faulty Graphics card that they FINALLY admitted after a year! Only because Nvidia was out saying they had a series of graphic cards that were faulty. Those happened to end up in the MacBook Pro. Why else do you think the MacBook Pro Santa Rosa came with two different Graphic Cards? One was ATI and the other NVidia, oh and then there were the messy situation with the Samsung LCD screens in that series too... What a mess... it really feels like they've given up on Computers.
Just had Safari crash on me dumping 7 tabs
Use the 'reopen all windows from last session' button in the history tab at the top. not perfect but better than reopening everything yourself.
edit
Aristotle : We are using the safari 4 beta. Not Safari 3.
I'm a bit confused about that too... I think it's a mistake, cause it is in the new update. Maybe it's in the Combo but not in the stand alone?
I also experienced this problem with one of our Macs (Mac Pro). I rebooted the Mac using a backup drive clone of my Mac Pro Macintosh HD drive and re-ran the combo update on the Macintosh HD drive, rebooted from the Macintosh HD drive, and now everything is fine.
