In the past there was one issue with the file size, but I just double checked and the 39gs firmware is only 897 kbytes, so we are good there.

Were you trying to update from a previous newRPL version or installing from scratch?

Thanks Claudio, I might need to dig out the old Win7 machine in order to run the original connectivity kit.

This happened when updating from 1299. If I recall, the update progress bar was nearing the end when there was a sudden disconnection and that was that.

You should be fine then, it's a nuisance that newRPL Desktop can't flash a calc unless newRPL is running (can't talk to the bootloader). Luckily, once I update newRPL Desktop to 1351 those failures to complete the flashing process should become a thing of the past.
