If you guys check the links above to those sites that mention the problems with SP3 you'll see that they talk about Microsoft using an Update Services wedge (band-aid) to stop it downloading SP3 while they try to figure out what is causing the problems. That may be why you only got a 460k download instead of the full SP3 download Pluton. I'll check it out on my update services (WSUS) server tomorrow morning and let you guys know if you're interested.
(WSUS is a server that you can run on a local site that fetches all the Microsoft updates and distributes them to correctly configured workstations. The idea being that only one machine downloads the updates and stores them, then services the requests of all the workstations on that network or WAN to conserve internet bandwidth. It also allows management and grouping of workstations to allow administration of how, when and what updates are distributed ... but I digress ... :biggrin:)
