Is it stuck on any specific update or just doing them all slow? I know on a lot of PCs, the .NET 3.5 SP1 update can take 20-40 minutes itself.

Someone else could be hogging some bandwith, and you could have alot of updates queued.

Thus the love of slipstreaming the SP and auto install into your own custome disk

There is a how to some where in here.
Then you only have to get a half a ton of updates
