Hi Kristian,
Either the download server was down when you tried it or you would need
to provide the proxy info. The installer .sh allows the user to set the
proxy info, but I am not sure how to do it with the zip distribution.
Perhaps Snjezana has some idea. Nevertheless, I was able to install
the updatetool using the b33 zip bundle. I do not recommend to use the
installer .sh since issue 7019
<
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7019> is not yet
fixed; although the updatetool also works for me using the .sh bundle.
In addition, I did not experience any error using the Admin Console's
Update Center.

% ./updatetool
The software needed for this command (updatetool) is not installed.
If you choose to install Update Tool, your system will be automatically
configured to periodically check for software updates. If you would like
to configure the tool to not check for updates, you can override the
default behavior via the tool's Preferences facility.
When this tool interacts with package repositories, some system information
such as your system's IP address and operating system type and version
is sent to the repository server. For more information please see:
http://wiki.updatecenter.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=UsageMetricsUC2
Once installation is complete you may re-run this command.
