Windowsupdate Downloading slow

    Hi,

    I have 2mb BB with Eircom, and it is working fine except for windows update. It flies through the options when selecting updates. But downloads are only 5-7kbps.

    Downloads off other sites are up to 220kbps.

    Does anyone know if there are issues with the Windows update or is it just me. It's been like this for the last 2 weeks. I have tried different PC's same thing.

    Or is it my router, I have the netopia 3347NWG wireless model.

    I have tried it both Wireless, and over cat 5 same difference.
    At the mo' I have Laptop and PC setup with Norton 2005 Firewall on each, and Firewall enabled on Router - Have tried it with all firewalls disabled - No difference.

    Last night they released a load of patches - 6 of them are to stop and attacker taking complete control of your machine. Windowsupdate will be slow for a while

    Windows Update is back working now, downloading the updates at BB speeds. They must have taken some capacity out on the servers when updating the new patches.

    I think you'll find it's more likely that half the world was downloading the well publicised updates...
