You can download it here:
http://www.sigma-dp.com/DP2/firmware.html
Read the instructions and realize that the actual download link is at the bottom of the page... it took me awhile to find it, being who I am.
I just installed the update successfully. It takes a few minutes, the red light finally goes on and then flashes for awhile, you get a message that it has succeeded (one hopes), and then the camera shuts down just to give you a little scare. Power it back up and double-check that 1.01 is installed.
The benefits are apparently two:
*Decrease the phenomenon of intermittent camera freeze under certain conditions.
*The accuracy of the Auto Focus has been improved.
The first thing I noticed was that my self-portraits look SIGNIFICANTLY younger and more handsome, which I didn't think was possible. Well, they do call it "firmware."
Good luck with your own upgrade. And remember to format your 256MB or larger SD/SDHC card before you save the BIN file to it.

Trust me... it's as easy as riding a bike... against traffic... with no hands...
