    Hi Bri and Welcome to MajorGeeks.Com!

    This has been a known issue. I have had this problem as well. First try to update again, but this time choose a different server to download from. For example, after you get the error "bad checksum" select (to the right of search for updates) click the drop down menu and choose a different server. This should take care of this problem

    Thanks Bj:)

    Or just keep retrying. I was downloading the updates last night and kept having that problem, but eventually got everything updated. It results from server traffic, according to their site. Eventually you will get through if you are persistent :)
