Update (almost) failing after SP2, error 80072efd

I am working on a computer for my work environment, and I was downloading the
updates just fine until after SP2 got installed. Now, I can't download any of
the updates.

Looking at the Update.log, everything seems to be going fine until it
actually tries to fetch the download, giving this line:

Download job for update 2C915E53-F7B1-4246-A8FC-E67D599934A0, revision 103
hit a transient error 80072efd.

I've tried just about everything I could find. I've used regsvr32.exe to
register DLLs, I've added microsoft to my trusted sites list, among other
things. I'm at wit's end right now.

Now here's a fun tidbit: I went ahead and installed some of the 'optional'
updates. In this case, I downloaded the .NET framework 1.1. No problem there!
But when I try to download the critical updates (in this case, KB885884 and
KB834707,) nothing.


One last question, in case it matters: Does the log always show the
'Required version of Binary' and 'Binary...is:' lines, regardless if they're
right or not? I thought it was an error message thing, but I still get it,
i.e.

Required Version for binary C:\WINDOWS\system32\wucltui.dll is: 5,4,3790,2182
Binary: C:\WINDOWS\system32\wucltui.dll: Target version: 5.4.3790.2182
Required: 5.4.3790.2182
