DavidR"...If it took 3 days with torrent (what size was it?) I would have thought it would be similar or possibly longer with a download manager..."
By 3 days , I let it download for about 3 hours each day. The Torrent was best option as with the way they had the file mirrored, if the connection dropped out that was it, you couldn't "resume' the download . It was hosted @ Megaupload also, which I had 80% downloaded and couldn't Resume,
ahhhh!!! .The Torrent worked with downloading off "Peers", others who had already downloaded or partially, and it searched out other sources, plus you can stop it, and resume the next day.
The 'Lite version of AutoPatcher_XP_SEPT2005_lite.exe is 100MB , so approx 9 hours on dialup. Full version is about 180MB. Now I have every critical and optional XP Sp2 updates burnt to disk, ( Yummy
) except these latest ones.
What is concerning me is that these latest updates aren't coming through from Microsoft.
Soon I suppose.
