Yeah, seeing the same here - it's been flaky for us for the last 30
minutes while we've been trying it.
I wonder if it's related to this messages.zip / admin@ thing that's all

I was just thinking the other day, wouldn't it be funny if there was a
worm that had infected machines attack windowsupdate.microsoft.com so you
couldn't patch? :) I haven't confirmed that this is the problem, but it
seems likely.
