I suspect the update process uses more than 1 file. The large zip with the really long name which is 95mb, perhaps an updated otacerts file, and even some sort of command file to move the large file into place, do something and then initiate the update.
Today is the 18th. WHERE'S MY FROYO!!!

the otacerts file was not updated today. I checked. I am just a little tired because I was not planing on staying up till 4am. I should have checked that first. I am going to try to go into my phone thru debugging and see what I can find.
I was able to get teslatech's link to work. I simply clicked the link on my phone, and it downloaded the 95MB file to the download directory of my SD card. Using Astro, I then renamed it update.zip and moved it to the root directory of my SD.
Then I ran the stock recovery program (detailed here for fellow n00bs) and it rebooted with Froyo installed!! Took a while, and I PANICKED when it froze at the new Droid eye splash screen (after the DROID voice and a splash showing all the features of the Dinc), but after waiting for what seemed like an eternity, it got past it and went to a screen that counted up to 100%. At 25%, it came up with a screen that said "Congratulations, you have successfully updated your HTC phone to version 3.21.605.1 (the build number). After that, it completed the countdown and booted to my home screen and my system info shows Android version 2.2 in Software Info!!
Widgets look different. Going to go download the new voice search now for the voice actions, and play around.
But yes, teslatech's file DOES WORK!!! FINALLY!!!!

So is this the same as the OTA or is this "rooting" ?? And if i do it this way because i can't wait will i still recive the the OTA?
No, this is NOT rooting or anything advanced. This is simply the same link that your phone will be prompted to follow when you get the OTA, but you're taking the initiative and doing it yourself.
You won't receive the OTA because it will show you already have what it's trying to give you. This ISN'T the RUU or anything else. This is the OFFICIAL update, from google's servers. Teslatech was able to isolate the link that was provided to his phone to download the OTA when his phone was selected to do it, and he's sharing it with us so that we don't have to wait.
The steps you have to take are what the tech in your local Verizon store would go through if they were to manually update it. Of course it's up to you, but I haven't modded my phone AT ALL, and don't plan to. I was waiting for the official release, and this is it!!

Then why am i so darn scarred to do this?! I hear of people ending up with "bricks" and i just cant go run out and buy a new phone lol besides im so new to this stuff i guess i can wait i was just thinking it would be fun right now 
The only issues I've run into so far are Swype not working (which I've just replaced with the apparently superior SlideIT), and for some reason, my weather widget isn't showing anything, and won't update inside the app itself. That's kind of troubling, cause I have no idea how to fix something like that...
Other than that, EVERYTHING is faster. Sliding the notifications bar down doesn't stutter AT ALL now, and pages are definitely loading faster.

Well, i used beautiful widgets and there was no problem with that...however i did look at the sense clock and experienced the same thing...try rebooting your phone and see if that helps
Rebooted several times now, with no improvement.
Thats interesting...i will try and figure it out and update you soon
For the mean time...everyone please turn your attention here as i have posted an instructional to get it on your phone...

-Clock not updating(im having that issue too)

-Android Market issues downloading/installing apps

I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but I can't get Accuweather.com to load, either in my phone browser or on my PC. Since that's where it takes you when you click on "More Details" in the weather app, I wonder if that would explain the weirdness I've been experiencing with the weather widget...? It knows my current location, it just won't show any weather info or the icon on the clock/weather widget, or update the weather when I click refresh in the weather app.
Can anyone access AccuWeather.com? Hell of a time for it to go down if that's indeed the case...

That is the issue most people are having...the flip clock wont display the weather...i use beautiful widgets, so it doesnt bother me...but i want to get to the bottom of it, since i posted a thread to help people with the update on XDA...and i dont want people yelling at me through their screen
...on the other hand, beautiful widgets uses accuweather and its displaying for me just fine

No, I really think it has nothing to do with applying this update.zip at this point. You simply can't access accuweather.com, which is where it pulls its weather info from. Just a complete random, ****ed-up concidence that just cost me an hour of looking at forums for problems with the weather app on other phones after updating to 2.2.
If anyone with 2.1 can confirm that they're also having trouble currently with the weather app, that would put the issue to bed. Also, is ANYONE else able to access Accuweather.com?
