I don't think it's wuauserv that is your problem
as much as bits.
E.g. using bitsadmin /suspend and /resume you could
allow a big download to occur in pieces. At one point
I think that right-clicking the AU icon was sufficient to do
that without resorting to bitsadmin but I haven't seen it
available lately. However, I am no longer on dial-up
so that may have something to do with that observation. ; )
You could also do net stop bits I suppose but I suspect
that wouldn't be enough because wuauserv would just
restart it. In that case I would try in addition to see if
disabling the bits service would prevent that from happening.
The commands then to do that would be:
sc.exe config bits start= disabled
net stop bits
and then to restart it:
sc.exe config bits start= demand
and let wuauserv figure out that it was available again. <eg>
Note: I do not have any idea what the consequences
would be of interrupting a download which was already
in progress with the above commands. I suspect they
would be a more severe interruption than a simple
/suspend so who knows what kind of checkpoint you
might end up with as a result? E.g. it's possible that
you might have to restart from the beginning each time.
That's why I would concentrate on the /suspend /resume
approach.
Good luck
