Jon,

How are you managing this machine? Have you opened up the web admin on 
RED? If you are using the web pages then there have been reports on the 
IPCop list that larger updates on slow connections get truncated.

First thing I would do is check the md5sum of the patch file against the 
update list on the machine.

If everything looks OK but you still can't update the final option would 
be to run the update manually.

Cheers,

Pete
