You might have to select a few packages and incrementally proceed.
Since one of the packages may be causing a problem.  
Sometimes I end up running up2date 3 or 4 times. The first time I only
upgrade the kernel. The second time I choose about a third of the
packages, etc...

If it is clear which package is failing during installation simply the
don't select that one and file a bug report.

Good News: If the packages were already downloaded, up2date will
recognize this and will not start over with the download. So, things
will indeed be faster this time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Ernest
