It seems to be locked up, or very very sluggish to take any commands at all while it's stuck in this downloading cycle. I finally just gave up and stuck a paperclip in to do the soft reset to get functions back.

I copied the .zip file to the computer, unpacked it back to the .kobo directory and did a reset. Updated happily and she's a happy camper again.
Turning off and on the device, then logging out and on the account did the trick for me. Actually, since 2.4.0 this is the only way working for me but it works so I'm fine with it.
