This solution by romahicks is working because the Devs fixed the original problem. Had they not fixed it, this would still not work, because the client verifies the hashes of your files against the ones in updates.dat, not the hash of the ones on the server.
Buuuut they fixed it. So yay.

I've seen two solutions to this. The first was unfixable on our end, the one with the hashes. The other issue can be resolved by running the client as admin. Have you given this a shot? This is usually the case when WoW is installed to a protected directory like Program Files instead of your User folder.

I've always installed WoW to D:/WOW, just to make backups and updates much easier. This is obviously not a protected directory, and I also Have UAC turned off. WowHead Looter runs perfectly for me without having to run as admin under Win7 64bit.

The could not update file issue seems to be fixed as of last night's client update.

Well here we are again. Two different machines, two different locations. Neither can upload.
Sometimes there's an error when authenticating but mostly it goes to 100% says 'Finalizing...' and then errors with, "WowHead is unable to process your upload at this time. Please try again in a bit!"
It would be nice if there was someplace we could look to see if Wowhead is even recieving (i.e. server status or something) so I can stop wasting my time repetitively trying to upload when there's a problem on their end. Even some kind of sticky post in the forums that keeps us up to date when there's a problem.
This would be great, "Sorry for client upload issues but since Cata came out and everyone has been submitting so much new stuff our system got overwhelmed and crashed. We'll have it back soon and let you know." I just made that up but it's the kind of feedback the community would love to see.

Same issue started with me last night and is still ocurring:
"Sometimes there's an error when authenticating but mostly it goes to 100% says 'Finalizing...' and then errors with, "WowHead is unable to process your upload at this time. Please try again in a bit!"

Our database is overloaded at the moment so data uploads may fail; we are working on fixing it as soon as possible.
