How to resume download of due to failure in internet con.

[ssaahw]

Hi
This is my first post and am new to WSUS.
I downloaded WSUS 10.5 and started downloading the updates but as the data is in gigs, the downloading is hindered due to broken internet connection or power failure.
It gives following error (different errors at different time)
ERROR: Download failure for w61 glb

bla bla bla....

press any key to continue ....

When pressed, the cmd screen disappears.

Tried 3 times and all the times downloading failed and that also after downloading 1.7 GB, 1.2 GB and 1.5GB consecutively. This gives the feeling of hopelessness. Please help me, there must be some solution of this problem.

Could you post the last ten lines of .\log\download.log and a screenshot of the cmd, when it says, that the download failed?

Bei schlechter Internetverbindung wäre Verteilung der Updates über Peer-to-Peer optimal. Rein theoretisch über Torrent möglich (mit der MS-Quelle als Webseed). Ob die das so gerne sehen, weiß ich allerdings nicht.

Thank you very much for your quick reply and sorry for my late reply. As I didn't take the screenshot of the cmd prompt, I tried to redownload it and waited for the error but none came despite power failure at the point I had downloaded about 7.5 GB. I am pasting last 10 lines of the log you told....

I was downloading every thing from Windows tab of the main screen.
Please assist me how to resume the download from this point.

Clicking the UpdateGenerator.exe starts the downloading from begining.

Looks like a broken internet connection. I can't see anything, which would be caused by a bug inside wsusou.
So you have to keep trying until wsusou finishes.
wsusou won't download anything twice (except the remote file changes), so every download run should bring you to a point, where more data was downloaded than the last time.

I'd like to see a screenshot of the cmd-screen, when it tells you to press any key to continue, this should verify/falsify y thesis.

Ok When' I'l get the error again would post that here. For now I proceed with your suggestion.

One more thing... download was broken when it was at 'downloading/validating 91 out of 201'. There was no error at this point but when the connection was restored it took around 20 minutes and bypassed 91 to 201 and lastly displayed the error message.

Please delete the content of .\client\md, this will force wsusou to rebuild the hash database.
It might be a good idea to disable Windows Defender/MSSE definitions as they often fail or be invalid after disconnection of the internet connection.
