Ok, so here I sit on day two of an install of a system that only has 16KB cable (approx 5x faster than dialup) download ability.
The BITS has hijacked the internet line for the first day downloading critical updates basically making the computer useless for one whole day. Of course SP2 will not install on a NFR copy, so it seems to get confused and then dowloads the non-criticals at just a slow enough rate to require a page refresh three times on every page for all data to be recieved (limited port open ability)
Soo, here I sit waiting for day three waiting for BITS to download SP2 and patches at 0% I can never use... Intelligent at screwing up fresh installs, BITS will do it *every* time if you have limited internet connectivity and a WinXP that will not install/do not want to install SP2 on.
