How do I finish the last 1% of a tediously long 99% download of Win Updates
due to lost dialup connection?

The updates you successfully downloaded are cached in the %windir%
\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder on your hard drive. Just start
the update session again and it will pickup where it left off.

Thanks Gus, it took several restarts and patience, but it picked up the
downloading where it left off like you said
