I still have a 3gs and I haven't been able to update my phone yet. I get all the way to the end of the download and then it say's the server times out.

The last update of 4.3 took a week, kept doing the same thing but in the end I finally got the update Is it because it's a 3GS?

I'm just so frustrated because now even the hours of the download have went up tremendously.

I'm going to wait till June to upgrade so I'm guessing that I will be okay but like I said before it's just frustrating.

Can not really help with the core problem, but you can download the upgrade locally to your computer. Choose download only.

The file will be placed in the library/itunes/.. folder.

To install it press ALT+UPDATE and navigate to that folder.

Hope this saves some time
 
I've found turning off anti-virus off lets me update. Before it would always time out at the end. Might work for you
