Cannot download SP3

[Guest Bob]

I can't seem to download SP3.Every time I try I only get a partial download.I

have the latest update software installed but it still won't download.I even

added the site to trusted sites under Internet options. Is there a reason why

I can't download this?It was suggested that if the download failed that I

should download the stand alone version-not at 300+mb I'm not.The file size

is insane and with a dial-up connection it would take hours. Any suggestions

as to how to get SP3 to download and install? Thanks
