Carey,

This is usually caused by firewall or proxy server issues. If you
suspect this is the cause for you, try jacking in to a DSL line
somewhere instead.

The error indicates a problem downloading from the particular source.
Best work around is to download the and installe update manually fro
the MS website at:
