i was wondering if anyone knew the ftp address for microsoft so i could dl sp1 from their ftp rather than over internet. i'm on dialup and the isp i use has a limit on their accounts so they cut out after two hours. i've tried to dl sp1 a few times and i keep getting cut off near the end. if i could get the ftp address i could get the sp1 without any problems.
thanks for any information

i can't use a download accelerator if i get sp1 straight from windows update. i could use one if i got the full pack from download.com or something, but the full download is 134 meg. i only need about 35 or so meg, it'd waste a lot of time getting 100 meg more than i need, especially on dialup
