Problem with downloading iOS 4.2 for 4g

Question

I've got a problem with updating my touch 4G, i click update, the download starts and halfway through it stops and a window pops up which says:
'There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod.
The network connection timed out.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.'
I checked my connection, its all good, everything works fine, I can connect to the iTunes Store.
Everytime i try to download the update, the same thing happens.
Does anybody have some suggestions here that might solve the problem?
Thanks

Hello!
Been encountering the same problem for two days, drove me crazy! Tried everything, including disabling the firewall and antivirus but nothing worked, so here is what worked with me:
If you use Internet Explorer, do the following:
First close iTunes then go to Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab and then scroll until you get to the ''Security'' section, uncheck the box that says: Check for server certificate revocation* and now launch iTunes and try again. Hope this works for you as well!
