Upgrading from version 2.9.2 to version 3.1

I use my WP page for work. And, I haven’t upgraded the system in a while. However, I tried to upgrade it ‘automatically’ just now and all that comes up is ‘Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-3.1.zip.’ but nothing happens (I’ve waited as long as 15mins.)

And, when I have tried to download the WP file and then upload it via the ‘import’ section a la ‘wordpress’this error shows up ‘The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.’

Perhaps I am not uploading the upgrade into the correct area? I apologize of this is more than obvious.

In the end, all I wanted to do was upgrade my SEO section. Any help *will* be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
