coming soon:

I gently translate "dogshit should die" into "the download mechanism is fragile under partial-transfer conditions" and post that — while quietly keeping      │
    your spirit alive in the technical details. 😌

haha I'm glad I amused someone :)

here's how I fixed (?) this problem on my setup, now I can just click update on the Web UI, I tested it upgrading from 26.7.7 to 26.7.8 worked first time whereas before it would fail repeatedly

either that or this is all bullshit and I just got extraordinarily lucky, I'll post it anyway

ssh to your firewall as root
# ee /usr/local/sbin/opnsense-update
(or use your preferred editor that isn't nano as we don't have that :P)
search (CTRL-Y) for STAGE1 or go to line 906
behold the two opnsense-fetch command lines
where the two lines say "-T 30 -q" change these to "-T 120 -a -q"
(you could probably get away with just the STAGE2 line but fuck it since we're here anyway)
save the file with ESC (wait) ENTER ENTER

now hit the web UI and do your update

the changes persisted after my upgrade and reboot, but I expect they will be wiped out at some point

for those who are sensitive to such topics this post is 100% grass fed medium rare non AI, I didn't even fire it up, just looked at opnsense-update & fetch on github then the args for fetch, then fucked about in SSH weeeeeee

if it still doesn't work for you, maybe try the Kent mirror as that's what I'm using

have fun chaps, happy Sunday o7
