Greetings,

Running 12.0 for the first time. Loving how it updates itself instead of going to the website. I started the download but I have gotten this for the past many hours

I can go directly to the link for that cab and download it from the same computer but the program can't. What's the deal?

Are you behind some kind of proxy? If so, you need to tell WSUS Offline about that proxy. If not, maybe some firewall is blocking wget.exe from accessing the internet.

Working fine here:

Code: Select all

wget --spider http://download.windowsupdate.com/microsoftupdate/v6/wsusscan/wsusscn2.cab
Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.

Added a firewall rules for WGET. I can get the WSUS.cab but now I am getting this. I am not behind a proxy.

It's still the same error. Did you add rules for both wget.exe and wget64.exe (if you're on Windows 64-bit)? If it still doesn't work, post the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

tracert download.windowsupdate.com
wget.exe --spider download.windowsupdate.com

To be able to run the second command, open a command prompt in the wsusoffline\bin directory by (Shift+) right-clicking in its directory and selecting "Open command prompt here".

Could you check, if wget.exe/wget64.exe are allowed to acces the servers listed here:
