Window Update Website Not Accessible

When attempting to connect to the Windows Update website, IE 6.0 hangs and
does not allow me to access the site. I have followed a number of different
threads indicating that I should delete files in the Windows/Software
distribution folder. There is one file BIT10C.tmp that claims is in use by
another program. What program is it? It is the only file that I can't delete
from the system. If you have any other suggestions, basically my automatic
updates are freezing at 42% download and I cannot update my system. Thanks.
