well i bit the proverbial bullet and tried it. It was unable to update because it was a "bad file"

I keep alternating between '1.1.4 is the newest version' and 'iTunes store is unavailable.' It is actually very exciting! Variety is the spice of life, right? no. 
Nobody knows when Apple will make this available. It was wrong of them to put a 2.0 download link on their site when they know the link doesn't work.
I like Apple products, but their service is really ill-conceived.

A bold prediction. I predict that George W. Bush will win the 2004 Presidential election.
C'mon it's gone back to 1.1.4 as the latest version
It's going to be as bad as this tomorrow anyway, so I don't know why people seem to think it will get better tomorrow - it's not like the servers are going to grow extra space overnight...

Thanks for that one...
Who the hell wants to wait about 1 month for it??? We've already waited about 6 months so far....
I heard directly from Apple that it would be available at 8 a.m. today. What makes you so sure?
Thanks for the link
If I get desperate I'll go and download it.
It's now saying that 2.0 is ready but the iTunes store is still "Temporarily unavailable".
Same, I think it will be Monday before things get much better.
Might go play on the Xbox for a few hours and come back...
Anyone know if the 3rd party links to the 2.0 Firmware are legit?
Interesting that CNET posts the direct link, but it is against the rules here.
Nobody can or will tell you what to do with the resulting files anyway, so it hardly matters.
This http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1545972/1550444/ link worked for me, running 2.0 and want to get back to playing Crash Bandicoot on my Touch, so I'll keep it simple:
1. Click the link , individually download all 3 rapidshare '.rar' files.
2. After you have the 3 '.rar.' files in the same place, open one of them with UnRarX. (you may need to install it).
3. Go to iTunes, shift click (or option click) restore, and select the .ipsw file that was created in the location of the .rar files.
Enjoy! Works great for me!
