Update just not downloading

I'm trying to download the "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer
7 for Windows XP (KB947864) - so I am on the windows update page, it tells me
I need it - so I click on "Review and install updates" - and the window
changes, tells me it's downloading - but the grey bar doesn't increase....

We're stuck on dial-up (in the year 2008 - can you believe it???) because
there's no high speed available here, and we can't get a wireless
signal....so dial up is all we have.

The window says that it's going to take 43 minutes - but it's sat there for
hours today - and nothing. It just fails to update.

Please advise.

Tammy
