Well, my download subdir contains those too. The tree I've shown is that of
the SoftwareDistribution dir. My download subdir however contains, besides
hex number named files, another (still hex number named) subdir with lots of
other file/subdirs. Maybe this is a consequence of some old and big update ?

I'd like to make this thing working again, but in a rational way. Not just
reinstalling Windows or doing some other nonsense which might for some
unknown reason solve this problem (and possible cause many others)

No proxy configured. And BTW my WU download updates allright, just can't
install them.
