GOOD DAY TO YOU FRED :D

The download site isn't outdated that I can see. BUT I do know some Resis have probs using the auto-updater, and YES IT DOES CRASH ON THEM. :(

So best way is just to go to http://secondlife.com/download and manually install the newest version.

That is all.

ummm the download on the site IS old >.>
the current version according to LL in the anouncement forum is 1.7.1.3 and the one on the site is 1.7.1 which is why when i download the one on the site, it attempts an update and then explodes.
-this is why i havent been on sl for a long while now :(

ACTUALLY FRED HELLO AGAIN

DID YOU READ THE RELEASE NOTES FOR TODAY??? :)


From: someone
There are no viewer updates with this release.


Source: /3/34/69156/1.html


The version on that download site is 1.7.1.2 and altho it doesn't indicate that as such—and it should—it's the one that should work.

If your thingy isn't working, you could completely uninstall whatever version of SL you have and then install this new one CLEAN FRESH SUPER.

HOPE YOU CAN COME TO SL AGAIN

From the wiki:

Problem
The Autoupdate utility for Second Life is not working properly

Typical Cause
Many firewall or antivirus programs will block the Second Life update utility from working properly.

Potential Solution(s)
You can always download and install the latest version of Second Life by visiting http://secondlife.com/download.
