Here is the answer:

I can do nothing against broken links in Micorosoft's catalog file (wsusscn2.cab).

so there is no way to include the missing files then?

Error must be on your side or at your ISP, I tried several of the downloads marked as failed and I get the files.

I tried several times. It's nothing to do with my isp or internet connection. I got the same results each time. I wish it were the c ase of internet or isp. Oh well.

Content delivery networks are like a black box, and nobody knows, how download requests are redirected.

In my Linux scripts, I explicitly disabled persistent connections (HTTP keep-alive) for both Wget and Aria2, because I got exactly the same errors. I added the option --no-http-keep-alive for Wget and --enable-http-keep-alive=false for Aria2:

Code: Select all
# Persistent connections (HTTP keep-alive) don't work reliably with a
# content delivery network. Both download utilities may occasionally
# receive a server error 502: Bad Gateway, if persistent connections
# are allowed.
#
# The same is true for multiple connections in Aria2, if these are
# used for a fragmented download of the same file. Therefore, the
# option "--max-connection-per-server=5" is not used for now.
#
# Multiple connections for the simultaneous download of different files
# are still allowed; these don't seem to cause problems. In this case,
# Aria2 uses the default of up to five simultaneous connections.
(...)

readonly wget_common_options="--verbose --progress=dot:mega --timestamping --unlink --timeout=60 --no-http-keep-alive"
(...)

readonly aria2c_common_options="--conditional-get=true --remote-time=true --allow-overwrite=true --auto-file-renaming=false --max-tries=10 --retry-wait=10 --timeout=60 --enable-http-keep-alive=false"
(...)




To try this option, you would need to edit the file DownloadUpdates.cmd and find the line:

Code: Select all
set DLDR_COPT=-N


Then add the options for HTTP keep-alive and debug output:

Code: Select all
set DLDR_COPT=-N --debug --no-http-keep-alive



Or try Aria2 by running the script ActivateAria2Downloads.cmd once. For Aria2, you always get the newest version, while the bundled wget is rather old.


It may also help, to flush all caches for the nameserver resolution in both the operating system and all Internet routers (DSL modems). The easiest way would be turn off everything, wait some time and then try again.
