Manual download/install of updates

Hello everybody,

I do not have a dedicated internet connection at home, so I use my GPRS
enabled cellphone to connect to the Windows Update site to see what updates
are available for my PC. At this stage there is about 45Mb worth of updates,
which will take forever to download over the phone, and will be extremely
expensive.

Is there a way I can download these updates from another PC with a dedicated
internet connection, and then install it on my home PC?

Best regards,

You can download them from the Catalog and save to be installed later.

want the updates saved to and then Click the “Download Now� button.
Once downloaded, you can then burn them to CD.
