Chuck, Set the options in windows update to allow you to see the update catalog. It will allow you to set the updates and download them all from your basket all at the same time.

Hi Folks, Was at a remote site earlier this week and had a W2K PC that I was moving. I happened to run Windows Update and got a butt load of updates listed. The bandwidth at our remote sites is 64K an downloading most of the updates KILLS the circuit. So I copied the list from the browser and pasted it into Word and printed it out, brought it back here (where we have a full T1 out to the internet) and started downloading these update to burn to a CD. I was/am on Microsoft's update website and searching ALL with a # from this list I have and it was going pretty well and then from time to time I get: No downloads were found that matched your search criteria. Try searching again with different criteria, or look for downloads using the category links at left. So GREAT - the PC that Windows Update was run on can find it, but manually hitting the Windows Update site can't find them. I've emailed MS but was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how you handle updates if you are in a similar situation to mine ? And I also fear that some of these updates only download a part of the fix and then go back up to MS and get the rest. Seems like I remember it doing that here with the last big IE update.
