SP2 notification but no download?

[Dan]

I was notified that sp2 was ready to download. I clicked download but
then no download took place. Has MS temporarily suspended this sp2 update?

Same thing happened to me ... who knows? Nobody seems to know. MS is
doing their level-best to confuse the public .... well, that is unfair,
but it sure is confusing.

From what I have read in the SP2 newsgroup, when you get
the notification to download SP2, then you are on the
list to download it. But who knows how long the list may
be. Guess the ones who have at least gotten that far are
better off than those who have not even been notified.

I have a different problem. I have the Windows Update icon in my system tray
and it says 0% downloading, it's been this way all day long. If someone can
tell me what's going on.

Check your settings. I have mine set to inform me of downloads but not to
download until I request it

I guess the process has been set by MS so as to manage the download and
avoid overloading servers etc.

Pity there couldn't have been more info about that though, or at least some
comment from MVP's.

Guess I'll just leave it on 'Downloading updates: 0%' and see what happens,
if the upgrade CD appears in stores and/or on covermounts first, then fine.

From what I've heard of SP2 on this NG and elsewhere I can't say I'm
bothered about waiting a bit to get it!
