SP2 not downloading

[luminos]

Totally incorrect as much of what you post in the newsgroups.

Just because Automatic Update is not suitable for you does not mean it is
not the correct solution for others.
Your experience is no where wide enough to make such a broad all
encompassing statement.


However your description may fit those who make such broad all
encompassing statements.

Oh come on Jupitor. This is a major fiasco. MAJOR.

shannon,

Hi got same problemn here, exact o'mondo. Each time i now
schedule auto update it does nothing. However when i
check auto update status on xp site it says due to update
at 3.00am, and this isn't changing no matter how many
times i change time for update through control panel, it
resets itself back to 3.00am on win site. Ive tried
everything, if you find an answer let us know

cheers

Since you attack me instead of my opinion, most REASONABLE people will see
your post for what it is worth.

Shannon;
I was just informed this seems only to be an issue when you select
"Notify me..." in Automatic Update and they are working on it.
Select the other Automatic Update option and see if it works.
Right click My Computer
Click Properties
Click Automatic Update tab
Select "Automatic Recommended"
Click OK and follow prompts

LOL! What other so-called "issues" does Auto Update have?

Thanks for helping to prove that Auto Update is just another thing that can
go wrong with patching up all the MicroHoles.

MS just isn't worthy of trust, until they earn it. And releasing a flawed
Auto Upate isn't a step in the direction of MS earning its customer's trust,
but just another reason NOT to trust MS!

Nothing has been proven except you are quick to judge without all the
facts.
This is by design and working properly.
They will get the update in time.
Your premature judgement strikes.
If you would wait for the facts instead of assuming perhaps you could
eventually get it right.

It's funny how many times Jupiter has said "Good bye Kurt" - Only to hunt
down your posts to refute them a few days later

Just responding to what YOU wrote.

"I was just informed this seems only to be an issue when you select
'Notify me...' in Automatic Update and they are working on it." - Juppy

Seems YOU were too quick to judge.

This is by design and working properly.

Then what are "THEY workinig on?"

They will get the update in time.

LOL! Just download the Full SP2, and run it. How long does it take BITS to
spoon feed SP2? Hours, Days or Weeks?

People on dialup would get it faster ordering the SP2 CD!

Your premature judgement strikes.

Yeah. I should have known YOU were full of sh*t, as usual, Juppy. That
what was my mistake.

If you would wait for the facts instead of assuming perhaps you could
eventually get it right.

Well the "design" sucks. Just ask all the people that have been notified by
Auto Update that SP2 is available, but they aren't getting it, or it's stuck
at 0%.

Auto Update is more confusing than it's ever been! It's easier for the
average computer moron to download and install it for themselves, than
sitting around waiting their turn in line, and then waiting for BITS to
trickle download it over days or even longer!

Instead of effin' around with with Auto Update, MS should just add more
download bandwidth to Windows Update at times of high demand, like the
release of a very large Service Pack. This would be the SIMPLEST solution
for both MS and its customers. MS has god only knows how many billions of
dollars in the bank, but is too effin' CHEAP to add enough bandwidth to
support and protect their customers from all the holes in MS OSs.

So Juppy, blow me!

If Juppy responds to me, he will attack me for telling him to "blow me"
instead of arguing my opinions about Auto Update, BITS, and MS being too
cheap to add enough bandwidth at times of high demand.

I am going to try and manually download it as stated above. But, like the
previous question, I have had the windows update icon in my taskbar, showing
0% Downloaded for 3 days now. I would also like to know if it will recognize
that I have this update, and cancel the automatic download (to nothing).
