On 2 laptops today, SP3 XP Home, each downloaded

Repeating doesn't repeat the downloads (since I
guess it keeps them somewhere) but reproduces the
failure instantly.

Something new today? Some other laptops in the
same condition worked okay Wednesday.

Both laptops were new SP@, and downloaded SP3 on July 17 and 23.

I'm thinking something about IE they got then might be not working
for updates.
