A lot of people are facing issues while updating to iOS 5. The reason is the huge traffic at Apple’s site. The error occurs when iTunes tries to contact Apple’s servers to verify and activate the update process. But due to the heavy load the servers are able to respond to only half of theses requests.

As a result a 3200, or “internal error”, message pops up for those attempting to update their devices.
