RE: XP SP2 other than windows update

That URL does resolve to Akamai, but I had heard a rumor
they weren't going that route.

I hadn't heard they were keeping it off akamai. I have heard they're
asking ISP's not to mirror it (and any other mirrors), and have shut
down bittorrent downloads. That's understandable as they would be
blamed if someone downloaded a compromised version (strange how they
didn't mind Sp1 mirroring...).

I would have thought that they would have checksummed the file to a known value, so that any kind of corruption during downloading would be detected.
