Two separate items.

The firmware files from Kobo can be downloaded directly by your ereader or you can download them from the links posted in the Direct Links to Kobo Firmware thread, unpack the .zip file and copy the contents to your Kobo -- you have to access the .kobo folder which is hidden under Linux/Mac OSX so one extra step.

The patch files that Geoff was referring to can be located in various threads in the Kobo Developer's Forum. The current firmware patches are in the Instructions for patching firmware 3.19.5761 thread. There are batch/script files for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX included to automate much of the process.
