Is this via Airport, and if so, which OS are you running and what type of security?

Unusual to get this kind of error if you are hardwired to the net connection.
Connection time-outs are common(ish) with wi-fi, when you can't get a good signal.
Where are you downloading the software from?

Have you tried resetting your router?

I think you have a router problem, too. Make sure you get the updates for it, as well. Apple will find it and prompt you to update the Firmware.

But, I did experience this exact problem on a Mac Mini, after the upgrade from Leopard (10.5) to Snow Leopoard (10.6), as well.

I suspect a problem or corruption in the PREFERENCES. This has always been the weak link in the Mac OS, even on pre Mac OS X versions. It's not serious, but can be annoying.

I use Tech Tool to reset the PRAM and that forces the system to reload all of your Preference settings for the computer and all the applications your run.
