hi there!
can someone explain to me why windows update in vista takes 2h30m to download 57 updates and only install 28 of them, spending more than 1 hour to install the .NET 3.5 service pack (or was it 3.0??)
I mean, 2h30m??? seriously?? to only download 57 updates and ONLY install 28 of them???
It beggars belief, I am hoping someone actually knows the reason for this ridiculous problem

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I just reformatted my Vista machine and am experiencing the identical problem.

no, basically they are just slow to send over the data, I am not exactly sure of the problem, because you are able to download megabytes of data per second perhaps, but from the windows update, it seems like you’re on a 56K modem all over again, you know what I mean?
ridiculous. they should learn from the linux guys who run repositories for how all this should work
