Couple of questions...
1) Where are you downloading from? 2) What type of connection do you have, (Broadband, Dialup, Mobile)? 3) How large of a file does it take to have a server reset, eg: Can you dl a 40MB and not a 45MB? 4) Who is the "they" who were to have fixed this??

How are you doing the update? Through Start - Programs - Windows Update or through Automatic updates?
Have you tried just doing one update at a time if there are more than one available?
