Check for updates (from Help menu only) gives an error.

• 
  Apologies, the 'Check for updates' from the Help menu (in version 4.0) gives the error you described.
  
  Use the 'Check for updates' from Start -> All Programs -> SQL Backup menu -> Check for updates
  
  This works, and you can upgrade to version 4.1.
  Both links to Check for updates are working in version 4.1.

  I have tried several times to download the 4.1 update while 4.0 is installed. Each time it eventually comes back with a 404 error.

  Hello,
  
  The update service is able to download 4.1 from my location. Maybe it's a proxy server configuration issue on your side?

  We do not use a proxy service. The question is, are you trying to use a specific port on the inbound that our firewall may be blocking or is there a way to just download the update via another avenue?

  Hello,
  
  It's a fairly generic webservice running on port 80. It shouldn't be blocked unless the firewall considers XML webservices a threat, which is entirely possible!
  
  You can try the website (your www.red-gate.com account) instead. There is also a copy up on the ftp site: ftp://ftp.red-gate.com.
