 * I had to do the last update to 3.3 already manually and this new update to 3.3.1
   does not work either. In both cases I am getting a page saying file no longer
   exists, Page Not Found Error 404.
    I hate having to update manually I am really
   scared to do it wrong and lose all my content. Can somebody help? Thanks !

 * Just update manually then since the automatic way doesnt work for you. Upload
   manually the file via FTP.
