Has anyone been able to download the update via the Windows Store? I'm on the 8....

IIRC you cannot upgrade from the preview of 8.1. You will have to do a clean install. So try getting an iso or some other file download from microsoft instead of the in-store one.

They warned you about not being able to update when they released 8.1 preview.

You can manually initiate an upgrade by opening Internet Explorer and entering into the address bar:

  ms-windows-store:WindowsUpgrade

(Be warned: 8.1 Preview to 8.1 RTM is a fresh install. Your Metro apps will come back, but your Win32 apps will have to be reinstalled.)
