IE 6 manual update?

[Platters]

There used to be a way to download updates manually. This seems to be
now impossible. Or is there a workaround? What about torrent sites?
Can people post the files there? Will they work if they do? I really
don't want to connect an unupdated, vulnerable computer to the internet
before I have the updates. It seems rather illogical when you think
about it.

There are about 8000 links on that page. Any idea if there's one
that's relevant?

Pick the relevant updates in the appropriate month?

Wouldn't you want the latest month? I just want to bring my machine
that is currently offline, up to date without going online to do it.

These are bulletins. Where are the manual updates? They download a
small executable that necessitates the computer to be online to
retrieve the update. Or did I miss something?

Yes, you missed something. Keep following all the links, and you'll get to
the manual downloads.

You can bring it up to date manually by download *all* of the updates from
all of the months you don't have.

Since I have several machines that are basically indentical in terms of os,
IE, and directx, office, and wmp, etc. I usually let the windows update
site scan, then instead of letting it update automattically, I click on more
info and download the manual install exe for each one. Then all I have to
do I deploy the updates to the rest of my machines.

Or try this.
