....an automatic update download? There seems to be no option aborting it?
This fu**ing auto update pretended to be only a 1.9MB download and now it at
3% with 5MB?
MS must think everyone is on a unlimited internet plan? - Helloho, this is
Australia where most people are on a f**ing pair-gain line sporting about
31kbit/s and me on a 400MB/month plan..

WTF

Steve

Order the CD.

Hi Steven,

Some updates have a huge file-size (SP1, the Roll-up pack or any other Cumulative Update?) and there is no point in your frustration. You may also visit http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp to view the list of updates (file size, description) and download them. You can turn off Automatic Updates service (if you plan to download the updates manually each time)

-or- Order the Windows Security Update CD: (which contains most of teh updates, upto Oct 2003 I think)
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu.../cd/order.mspx
Install the updates from the CD. Then, visit Windows Updates to download the remaining ones.

People that is not funny! - I cant abort that download except disconnection
the line. Once I dial in again auto update continues downloading where it
left off and I have no chance to stop it?!. I dont need SP2 Beta and never
requested to down load it. NOW, tell me how I can stop this download in
progress (right now) permanently. I need a solution right NOW!

Steve, That might minimize your chances of getting help from the volunteeers! (

You dont seem to understand the sitution I am in right now....
Do I have to wipe my HD to get that download in progress to stop?

steve

Try ending the process via Task Manager and then change your settings via
WUP.

Turn off Autodownload at Control panel - System - Autoupdate. Set it
maybe to warn you of downloads, but to do them manually, not on
automatic. Then bring up Task Manager from a right click in the
Taskbar, find the wupdmgr.exe in Processes and End Process
