[Elecraft] K3/Mac OSX firmware download seems stuck

My K3 (just received) came with a note that said to download the  
latest firmware before using it.
Config menu says uC 1.78 / FW REV 5

I got through most of the process, but it won't finish. Here is the  
report from the K3 Utility:

08:47:53 K3 boot loader is ready for MCU firmware load. RS232 38400 bps.
08:49:08 K3 boot loader is waiting for MCU firmware load.
08:51:18 Connecting to ftp.elecraft.com. Please be patient, this takes  
a few seconds.

That's as far as it will go after pressing "Send All New Firmware to  
K3".

  I'm using the KUSB adapter between my Mac (with current OSX) and the  
K3. K3 is turned on. I don't see any clues in any instructions about  
anything else I'm supposed to do.

It's Saturday, so the factory isn't open.
