Ugh. Was about 70% done downloading the update to 4.3 then it just stopped and went away. Now it's like it never happened and is making me wait a other 24 hours before it'll try again. This is where AT&T makes me mad.

The same thing just happened to me! I was at roughly the same percentage (maybe in the 60s), and now it is completely gone from my phone.... this after waiting for it to get to that point for 3.5 hours!

Turn off automatic date/time settings and manually change your date to 24 hours from now, and you can try again.
 
Just mentioned that the same stupid thing happened to my wife's S4 in another thread. It's all on AT&T. They can't handle the rollout.

On my 7th try. I can only make it up to 20% and it drops. I have solid Wi-Fi. May have to try later when everyone gives up for the night.

Yep this. If for some reason it stopped and you need to do it again, just change the time to the next date ahead and try again.

For some reason my white version took 2-3 hours (of course it was going slow and it stopped once. But today I went to best buy and bought myself an exclusive color that only Best Buy will sell, which is the Arctic Blue Samsung galaxy S 4 (Link: Samsung GS4 113810 - Best Buy ). It came with 4.2.2 (MF3, since I got the AT&T model). Anyways I installed 4.3 on that device and went pretty much quicker than my white one, probably only took less than an hour. But I guess it depends on the time of day the downloading takes place.

Ha, now I tried again 24 hours later and it says it's up to date and that there is no software update available! (And yes, it still is 4.2.2.) WTF is all this about?
 
Mine finally updated on the 4th attempt over 2 days. Had to play with the dates like others said.
Odd, my coworker has the S4 checked at work yesterday and it said he was ready to update but he clicked remind me later (no wifi at work) but when he checked tonight it said he was up to date. AT&T must be trying to level load their network.
 
I actually tweeted about this to AT&T customer service and they said they were temporarily pulling the update while they look into a few things.

Did they mention when the update will be up and avaliable again? Cause I still cannot get it... Got to about 70 percent then KAPUT!
