</div>I am pretty sure this was due to the one server had to be rebooted or<br>
possibly because of the high high number of users doing online<br>
upgrades it might be failing. I am pretty sure this isn't a "online<br>
upgrade is broken in 9.10" and rather some or other situation is<br>
affecting it ie one of the mirrors is having issues or your Internet<br>
connection is being over loaded or XYZ<br>
<br>
This is something that happens quite often on the day of release<br>
because every one is trying to upgrade at the same time.<br>
<br>
I suggest trying it again before bed or trying again in the morning.<br>
