Hi folk's
Have been trying to download xp service pack 3 using dialup,but this keeps timing out !! Can anyone tell me if there is
a way of using Int/explorer download to pick up where it left off, like the download manager's do ?
Regards
Jim

I'm not aware of any way to make IE work like that. You can download the ISO (CD image file) of SP3 here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...50-fe22559d164e

You can use a download manager for it, but it's going to be a long download on dial-up. Microsoft had a program where they would mail you the SP2 CD for only the cost of shipping, but I don't know if they're doing it for SP3.

22 hours and 9 minutes to download on a good dialup?!?

I would have a talk with my local librarian

I will give my flash drive to my friends wife and she can download it from work.

No such thing

about 20 min on cable, judging by what firefox is telling me, I doubted that it would take an hour like MS said (Ubuntu Studio DVD's dont take me that long)

wow-it only took me 5 hours to download sp3 using my dial-up. i agree-have someone else download it for you.

I average 26Kbps...we are talking days!
