I average about 1MB per 3.5 - 4 minutes and at that rate it would be 100MB would be 5.8 to 6.6 still a very long time.
What is concerning me is that these latest updates aren't coming through from Microsoft.
Soon I suppose.
Not sure what you mean by this as the patches that are contained in the auto patcher must have originated on the windows security updates, KBs , etc. They should be available either through auto update or the MS downloads but you need to know which are required.
The problem is more likely to be the new v6.windowsupdate and or the Windows Genuine Advantage check either screwing up or detecting a pirated copy of windows.

StarDownloader or another download manager is highly recommended.
On my server I allow 4 simultanious connections per user. Outside of an occasional reboot,
the server is usually up 24/7. Max download speed from my server is usually between 35 - 40 Kbs. which
is fast enough for most things and much faster than dial-up.

All I mean is that : AutoPatcher_XP_SEPT2005_lite.exe , obviously doesn't have the October MS updates.They are the only required updates I need.
[b]I'm puzzled at what is interfering with the Win XP autoUpdate feature as these latest updates aren't downloading, for myself, other friends, andfamily.[/b] I'll just update from Windows Update manually, as the AutoUpdate aint working.
As you say:

Thanks Bob, Your " my shared files " has some great stuff on it. ( The Les Paul song you found was greatly appreciated ;D )
