So you've got a high speed connection to the Internet!

You want to download the Windows XP SP1 update seperately (not part of the automatic Windows Update installation)?

You go to the Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 website and decide to download the 133MB file, only to find that it downloads at 10kbps or slower?

Well that's just not right!

Follow Microsoft's yellow brick code road: (I made a funny)
http://premierdownload.microsoft.c [...] en_x86.exe

At 160+kbps, it delivers! 'When you absolutely, positively have to download your buggy updates now, instead of overnight.'

Hmm my Windows Update version was DLing very fast, at around 100KB to 120KB, so I finished the 33MB within 7 minutes.
Oh well!
