Looks like Apple's servers are taking a pounding with all of the demand for iOS 5.1. If you have gotten the error, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The Network connection timed out.", find the solution below:
2. After downloading the desired firmware, you can shift-click (PC) or option-click (Mac) the "Update" button in iTunes. A file dialog will open and let you choose the downloaded ipsw-file from your desktop.
MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE UPGRADING.

3. Proceed with the upgrade as usual.
4. If you get Error -3002 at this point, try to do a Restore, rather than an Upgrade - remember to shift-click (or option-click on a Mac).
