I’m also having the same problem. Plugin Updates work fine, but WordPress 3.7 (or the new 3.7.1 update) fail. Manual updating via copying over the wordpress core files worked to update to 3.7, but the 3.7.1 update fails again. I then changed nginx.conf and added in the http part (read it somewhere else – it’s … Read more
Updating WordPress through the dashboard will only affect WordPress files. No other files will be touched. Do the updates in the admin dashboard. Only files that need to be updated will be updated. Even WordPress files that don’t need updating will not be touched.
Your content (data) is stored in the database. If you don’t update the content, it will remain unchanged. Themes are mostly for data presentation (if there is no niche specialization on updating content). So, in the majority of cases, when you change the theme files, you don’t change the content itself.

Sounds like the upgrade download corrupted (probably because of disk space) – just do the upgrade manually.
It’s never a good idea to run an old version of WordPress, so I would recommend finding the source of the issues above all else. Old versions receive no security updates and have no long-term support, so by rolling back you’re leaving yourself extremely vulnerable to security issues that have since been fixed.

A “Manual” install involves downloading the WordPress zip and extracting it to your site directory (via ftp or a file manager like cPanel has). make sure your wp-content folder is fully backed up as you will need it. then run the extract.
It is most probably just installing it from a package, it would be quite unwise from a security standpoint to let fantastico load directly from a remote server. Meaning I don´t think they are allowed to do it. Simply install wordpress from ftp should do it.
Thanks for your comments guys, I was over on the WPMU and was told to manual update, worked like a charm. Will do that with any issues in the future.
