Windows Update Download 36% ??

Hi,

I'm using XP CORP. With the previous release of SP2.

It's set to auto receive update, however it's been stuck on 36% for two days
now!

Any suggestions ? ..... I believe it's trying to download the new and latest
release of SP2, however its just frozen on 36% !!!

HELP!

Thanks.

Sniper-X,

It could well be because something was interupted. Can you try a reboot?

Same problem here. Even after reboots and flushing the DNS cache.
This is why...

Traceroute dies at...

It's dead Jim. Don't know if there are other sites or not but the
auto update program isn't trying any others.
