Apologies if this has already been covered but a quick search turned up nothing for me.

When I update my copy of WA to 3.6.29.0, it asks me if I wish to download a graphics update, to which I say yes, but it then fails to download it. I get redirected to the team17 ftp site (ftp://ftp.team17.com/pub/t17/patches/pc/) and even though the file is listed there, when I try to download it I get an error as if the file isn't there.

Is there anywhere else to get this update?

The download works for me. Could it be a problem with your network set-up?

I've uploaded the file to a mirror here (http://dump.thecybershadow.net/be651fdebfe92cc3ede3edbac8db28e5/GfxUpdate-3.6.28.0.exe).

If it is a problem at my end then it's a very strange one, as I can download every other file from their server just fine.

No matter, your link worked perfectly. Do I add the contents of the Gfx folder to the one already in my installation folder, or do I also get rid of the old contents?

Add, the old files are still required.

some Virus Scanners may quarentine a download from the browsers cache, so when you go to download it again it will fail because it tries to resume from cache... Mozilla Firefox 3 does this :/

Turn off PeerGuardian!

This isn't really an issue for me any more but I guess I might as well reply to your suggestions.

I was booted into Mac OS X when I tried downloading the update and since I don't use any anti-virus software on it, that couldn't have been the problem.

Turn off PeerGuardian!

I don't use PeerGuardian.
