Change Office updates to use the re-startable process that is use.

[Jim Shipp]

I have been trying to download the Office security updates for several days,
but at my connection speed, it is over a 7 hour process. Each time, my
connection drops before the download finishes--one time within 22 minutes
(estimated) of completion. As such, I have given up receiving the
download--at least via the dial-up process.

I have noticed that if problems occur while downloading updates for Windows,
the download automatically restarts where it was interrupted, instead of
having to restart from the beginning. In the future, if Office updates used
the same process used by Windows it would be much easier to receive these
large updates.

As for receiving the current download, do you have any suggestions? (Can I
download the update to disc on another PC with a faster connection and then
update my PC from the disc? Other ideas?)
