    I am trying to download the latest Parallels Desktop 5.0 update 9310 but I can't. I keep getting that damn "Unable to connect to the Parallels server"

    I actually do connect and the server sends a bit, then stops, then sends a bit, then stops, and it times out.

    Is there a way to download an update manually, rather than using this stupid Update routine?

    Another method that actually works?

    The server must have an 8088 processor and a 28.8 line.

    You may want to go to the download page and download the latest build.

    http://www.parallels.com/download/desktop/

    You'll download an image. Just install it. It'll use your registration key (you don't have to re-register).

    Thanks but that link only downloads 9308 and I'm trying to get 9310. I'm already on 9309.

    I was finally able to get 9310, I found yet another bug in this product. When you use "Check for updates" under HELP it starts then tells me it can't find the server but in fact it is downloading anyway, and does install. Obviously there's a timing algorithm that wasn't well thought out.
