If you have only dialup, your choices involve finding a faster connection.
Take the system there, or determine the identities of the downloads, then
download them from the Windows Catalog to disk at another system with
highspeed.

Mel,

From a system with broadband internet, you may download most of the post-SP2 updates locally.
