Where do you see that symptom? In the windowsupdate.log?
If so, please post more context for it than you are providing.
Actually, I suspect that that message would occur during the install
phase of download and install. You could try using Automatic Updates
in full prompt mode to see if it is really the download which is failing
or the install. I.e., if you get the prompt that the update is ready
for install you will know that the error is occurring during the install
phase. Also, in that case, you would be able to get more information
from the update's log, e.g. KB893086.log
In any case, instead of concentrating on the error code as your
symptom I think you should widen your analysis to simply the
"Download failed" part of the message.

For example, here is an excerpt from an answer I gave
to another user last October who also had an unhelpful
error code.
<excerpt>
Check your logs. That code might not indicate what the documentation
wants it to and more importantly you may find that earlier in the transaction
another code is being generated which makes more sense.
BTW I have just found out how much stuff gets written in that
SoftwareDistribution directory. (I ran FileMon filtering on that
directory name while trying to get AU working.) For a Q&D way
to list all the changes made in it on a particular day you could use
this command pipeline:
dir/s/od | findstr "Directory 2004-09-18"
Modify that for your system as necessary. For example, the word
"Directory", the date format and of course the date itself.
A reason for doing this is that it might expose things that are being
done which are not reflected by the traces. Also by comparing your
results with someone else's whose WU was working better it could
give a more concrete list of what is not being done.

(Google Groups search for
"download failed" MSFT OR MVP group:microsoft.public.windowsupdate
)
Since then I have slightly revised those suggestions.
For example, instead of filtering in FileMon with just the
SoftwareDistribution directory name I have lately been
suggesting that update be added (separated by a semicolon)
as well. That should allow both accesses to that directory
and writes to the windowsupdate.log to be interleaved.
I have also mentioned elsewhere that if the dir/s/od method
of discovering changed files does not appeal that using
an Explorer search limited to that directory on that day
and then ordered by Date Modified could accomplish
the same goal.
