Download the torrent. Using iTunes 7.7, hold shift (in Windows) or option key (alt) in OSX while pressing check for updates in iTunes, then select the .ipsw file. Be patient as it can take several minutes for the FW to install.

Worked for me, but YMMV

IDK, I just don’t like the idea of paying for a software upgrade on a $2XX mp3 player. Just doesn’t seem right.

That is strange. If you hold [option] while you click the update button on the screen a file select window should open. It doesnt even do the version check.

Do you have iTunes 7.0? You need the latest version of iTunes too.

My jailbroken ipod touch decided to not allow installer to work anymore, and i cant figure out why… So i guess i can just throw 2.0 on there and see how it is.

I read that if its jailbroken you have to restore it to 1.XX or whatever before installing 2.0.

IDK try a quick google search.
