There used to be a way to download updates manually. This seems to be now impossible. Or is there a workaround? What about torrent sites? Can people post the files there? Will they work if they do? I really don't want to connect an unupdated, vulnerable computer to the internet before I have the updates. It seems rather illogical when you think about it.

Any idea if there's one that's relevant? :)

Since I have several machines that are basically indentical in terms of os, IE, and directx, office, and wmp, etc. I usually let the windows update site scan, then instead of letting it update automattically, I click on more info and download the manual install exe for each one. Then all I have to do I deploy the updates to the rest of my machines. Or try this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913086
