Automatic Download of SP2 still at 0%

I have AU switched on and a week ago it notified me that Sp2 was available,
I consented for it to download and since then it has been stuck at 0%. I
heard rumours that MS were putting SP2 downloaders in a queue. Anyone got
any ideas. In case you all think I am mad and why have I not gone down to
my local computer store to pick up a free cd with sp2 on, over here in the
UK that isn't a possibility.

This is due to Windows Update controlling the rate at which Windows XP
Service Pack 2 is released. For the health of the overall Internet, the
Service Pack needs to be slowly released to machines.

The download of XPSP2 will eventually complete without any need for
interaction from you, and at that point, you will be asked to install the
update.

Hope this helps.

Derek
