Is it possible to download service pack and security
patches to a disk instead of direct installation from the
internet site?

Hi

For service packs, download the "Network Installation", named
W2KSP4_EN.EXE for e.g. the English version of SP4. This download
file is 129 megabytes.

You can download it from here:

You can download the individual updates from the Windows Update Catalog:
