Windows Update Constant Failures

For some reason on while downloading Windows Updates via the Windows Update
site I am constantly getting failures in Windows XP during the download
process. The download looks as its going its downloading the update but then
after it finishes the download process it said it failed. The update that
really stuck out to me on my work LAN was KB967715 this update I had to
download individually from the Download Center and then install it
specifically by itself because everytime I used the Windows Update Site to
download it the download would fail.

I know this isnt computer specific because I have tried it on every computer
on my network and all failed. Even at my home on a completly seperate
connection I get failures on several updates. It is my strong belief that the
Microsoft Update site is SERIOUSLY MALFUNCTIONING!

This needs to be fixed as soon as possible because windows updates are
crucial. I dont know if anyone else has noticed this or complained but the
issue needs to please be addressed. Any help that anyone can provide or other
similar experiences Please Post Here!

Thank You,

I had the same problem with the same update until I installed it manually
with the little yellow icon on the task bar.
