Any ideas what is going on here and how to overcome it.

I've just found another thread about this and the temporary workround.
The problem is the URL used to download the new firmware is not working.

You can manually download the firmware for your Kobo from https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html

Unzip the contents of the firmware ZIP file to the .kobo directory (on your Kobo). When you eject, your Kobo, it will start the firmware update process.
