I'd like to know where to email bug reports and feature requests myself, but
if you want support, you could click the "Start email request" button at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...doffer80&sd=GN
Hopefully that URL isn't temporary, but if it is, you could get there through
the link under "Need more help?" on the upper right of
http://www.support.microsoft.com/def...r=windowsxpsp2.

The following is part of a response I got when emailing a similar question
to Microsoft. It includes information on getting an SP2 CD:

According to my understanding, when you click to download Windows XP SP2
from Automatic Updates, download will not get finished. You have not obtained
this update after leave your computer connected for 24 hours.

If I am not accurate in my understanding of this case, please feel free to
correct me.

Based on my experience, this issue can be caused by the network connection
problems. Once any connections problems occur during the download process,
download will get failed though network is still available on your side. I'm
sorry for the inconvenience it caused to you.

Let's try to download SP2 directly from the following website to see if we
can get it:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/ [I've truncated the URL because it
might not be for the general public]

If it still cannot be downloaded, I suggest order a SP2 setup CD. Based on
my check, setup CD will be available for order on the following site soon:
