FAILURE: Google releases new version, but I can’t get it

I use Google Chrome as my browser (it is just way faster than any other). However, there are a number of things that annoy me about the browser. One of the most annoying problems is that of update. My browser never auto-updates, despite the fact that there are two GoogleUpdate.exe processes running in my task manager all the time. So, the way I keep up with my updates is by manually going to the About box, and checking if a new update is available.

But, today even that is not working for me. Google has released a new update but it doesn’t matter, because I can’t get it. I have been trying again and again to update my copy, but I keep getting an “Update server not available” error (screen shot below).

This is such a failure. I would love to be able to run the latest and the greatest, but these stupid errors keep getting in the way.
