Tried to upgrade Akeeba Backup Professional from 4.0.5 to 4.2. kept getting this error message - https://www.akeebabackup.com/component/ars/?view=download&id=3175&dummy=my.zip

4.0.5 is pretty old, I think that is the problem. It is from before the old internal update was dropped. We do all the updates through Joomla! now, 4.0.5 doesn't know that.

You can just download 4.2.0 Pro and install it as you would any extension, that will perform the update and you will be able to do the next update through Joomla! Update. Do not uninstall Akeeba Backup. That will clear all your settings and possibly delete your stored backups.

You might want to double check your Download ID too. It has been a long time since they changed, but we still run into one now and again.
