I can't seem to download SP3.Every time I try I only get a partial download.I
have the latest update software installed but it still won't download.I even
added the site to trusted sites under Internet options. Is there a reason why
I can't download this?It was suggested that if the download failed that I
should download the stand alone version-not at 300+mb I'm not.The file size
is insane and with a dial-up connection it would take hours. Any suggestions
as to how to get SP3 to download and install? Thanks

Wait about 3 months.
