Go to the following web site:
Welcome to Windows Update Catalog
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp
Click on "Find updates for Microsoft Windows operating
systems".
In the Operating system box, scroll down to the next to last
entry, Windows XP SP2.
Click on it to highlight it and hit the Search button.
Click on "Critical Updates and Service Packs".
Scroll through the list and add all the updates you need to
your download basket.
Do the same for "Recommended Updates".
Once you've completed the selection process click on "Go to
Download Basket".
Use the Browse button to select a handy location on your hard
drive to store the updates.
Hit the Download button.
Here's another Microsoft source for updates:
Microsoft Security Bulletin Search
