I'd have to assume that they do a sanity check on the downloaded file before attempting to apply it, so that a bad file because of overloaded servers wouldn't be applied.

Funny thing: I was actually kind of hoping that the iOS 4.01 update would brick my iPhone, because I have a dust problem on the screen that is surely out of warranty - it's been dropped a few times - but if it bricked, I could probably get a new phone out of it. Sadly, the update applied itself perfectly. :-)
