This is a bug in the TeX Live updater script, and it needs to be fixed server-side.
Norbert says this is fixed, but other users are reporting various issues. Regardless, there's nothing I can do.
Apparently this is only fixed in tlcritical. If you choose the Actions menu and hold down the option key, you'll see an item that lets you install TeX Live Manager from the critical repository. Do that, and it'll work around the problem.
I tried amaxwell's suggestion, but it's not working on my system. Certainly not an emergency, but would love to see`this fixed.
@ronbannon Can you be more specific? What kind of failure message do you see after trying to install from the critical repository?

@ronbannon yeah, I'm seeing reports of this from others, too. Might be too many connections on the ftp server, but I'm just guessing now. Sorry.
Looks like someone fixed the problem. The update is now working fine. Thanks!
Had the same problem with the new update to mactex 2018. Then upon trying again, this error:

Update: Changing the default mirror in Configure > Manage Repositories seems to make it go away.
The last infrastructure update fails to install with TeX Live Utility; here's the relevant part of the log
Trying from the command line with
goes well
