SP2 Dial-up download

I've noticed that a number of posters have had problems with SP2 downloads
using a broadband connection. I am having a problem with a dial-up download
and am looking for help. A few days ago, I received a notification bubble
saying that SP2 was ready for download. I clicked to start the download, but
nothing happened. I have changed my control panel settings from
notifications to automatic downloads, have changed times, and have used the
manual windows update feature. Nothing. Does this mean I have missed the
chance to download SP2? Is Windows planning a subsequent notification? Or,
do I just have to be patient while the millions of other downloads take
place? I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks.

On dial up it could be 24 hours on-line for the background
download, once it has downloaded, it will install.

Since most people using dial-up don't stay connected 24/7
and often connect, dis-connect, connect as they work, the
download could take a week or more.
