Yeah, seeing the same here - it's been flaky for us for the last 30 minutes while we've been trying it. I wonder if it's related to this messages.zip / admin@ thing that's all over the place today. I was just thinking the other day, wouldn't it be funny if there was a worm that had infected machines attack windowsupdate.microsoft.com so you couldn't patch? :) I haven't confirmed that this is the problem, but it seems likely.

Anyone aware of an attack on www.microsoft.com? I had a customer machine that was attacking it, looks like either a bug in Microsoft's SP4 (coincidentally this started the day after this was installed) or there's some new(?) worm of some sort causing this ??

Thanks!
