.NET Update Download On Dialup.

Dear Friends...I've just discovered that I need to download and install the
newest .NET service pack...unfortunately we use dialup here and this massive
update of some 250 mb will take up to and beyond 12 hours. Is there some
other way I can download this? Like smaller packs of perhaps 5mb each????
Please let me know.

Hello FOREST-GUY,

Pause or Resume Downloading

After the download process has started, you can pause or resume downloading
at any time. If you close your Internet connection or restart your computer
after pausing a download process, Windows automatically resumes the download
process the next time that you are connected to the Internet.

To pause or resume downloading:

1. During the download process, click the icon that is displayed in the
notification area, and then click Pause.


2.When you are ready for Windows to start downloading again, click the
Automatic updating icon, and then click Resume.

<title>How to configure and use Automatic Updates in Windows XP</title>


Are you being psychic Engel? <eg>

I just discovered yesterday to my dismay that this tip
may not apply to Vista users. E.g. I was running
bitsadmin /monitor /allusers while a large download
was happening and evidently BITS was being bypassed
or if it was being used we need a new command to show how.
FWIW I saw a lot of activity from TrustedInstaller.exe
instead, so I would guess that it might be doing the downloading
on Vista instead of BITS but who knows? A quick search
didn't elucidate on the differences between the OS or
the differences in packages for the OS, if that is what
I was seeing. More security/obscurity? ; }

they seem to of messed up the .NET service pack on windows update.
if its been installed via the full package it still wants to download via
windows update. also im sure it should only download certain components
rather than the full 250MB.

Seems a bit strange that WU/AU/MU was offering this bugger to everyone. It's
huge. I'd ignore it if you know you don't have anyging that requires it.

The alternative is to get it from someone else and transport it on a CD, DVD
or USB key with a manual download from the download site.

If it actually wanted 250MB, it would take over a day to grab - and pray
your connection doesn't crap out in the middle!
