hello
i have wsus 10.6.1.
i download windows 7 updates with wsus.
i did not get any error in download process.
after download complete, i redownload windows 7 updates with wsus again Instantly.
but i saw (in wsus cmd black window) that updates were being downloading again.
for example i see in wsus window:
Code: Select all
Determining static update urls for w61 glb...
12:43:50.50 - Determining dynamic update urls for w61 glb...
12:44:05.19 - Done.
Downloading/validating statically defined updates for w61 glb...
Downloading/validating update 1 of 21...
[#909a15 15MiB/537MiB(2%) CN:10 DL:551KiB ETA:16m10s]

Currently it is impossible to increase the number of downloading attempts (hard-coded values). Maybe it's worth making this setting editable.

Double downloads:
Are you behind a proxy server (maybe one of your ISP), which caches the sites?
This might break the timestamps, wsusou uses for valitating the downloaded updates.
Please check, if there are files inside .\client\w61\glb and which modification date windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe has

Could you post the log entry (.\log\download.log), where windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe was downloaded first & the last time?

Although I do not have any solution, I want to add that I have seen this, too. And it occurs ONLY when using aria2! In my case, wsusscn2.cab, and the Agent files were downloaded almost every run. Once I returned to wget, the problems stopped.

Additionally, every download throws the following warning:
Code: Select all
04/12 23:31:26 [WARN] Gaining privilege SeManageVolumePrivilege failed.

04/12 23:31:26 [WARN] --file-allocation=falloc will not work properly.


Third, aria2 is very talkative and floods the logs unnecessarily.

before i post this question, I tick only windows 7 in wsus window.
after i post this question, i tick all of boxes in wsus window last night.
and if i attach log file, i must untick all boxes. then tick windows 7, then i must wait download 2 gigabyte. (because my wsus redownload all updates again)
it waste my adsl internet volume charge.
if do not exist other way to solve this problem, i download windows 7 updates again and attach log.
what i do?

2-wget down redownload updates in every wsus runing?

1. Just delete the file
Code: Select all
.\cmd\custom\SetAria2EnvVars.cmd
.
2. No. The only files that might re-download are the Defender signatures, if MS' mirrors aren't in sync.
