dskw,
Are you saying that you were forced/tricked into downloading XP SP2?
That is HIGHLY unlikely unless you've just discovered a bug in the
V4 Windows Update site. The BITS update that you're referring to
will enable you to access the future V5 site.
If what you claim here is accurate then this should be forwarded to
the Windows Update team. Look in WUTemp for xpsp2.exe . The file is
over 200 MB. If it's much smaller than that then it is the "stub"
downloader for the entire package.
Please post back with further info....
