AutoUpdate icon in tray

[Guest]

The icon for the autoupdate function has been in my tray for 2 days. Mousing
over shows 0% downloaded. What gives?
Running: XP Home, ZA free, AVG free, SpyBotSD 1.3, Ad-AwareSE. I reset IE as
default browser (just in case).

Big thanks up front.

As I suspected, simply a lack of bandwidth problem. Haven't seen anything
that slow since I tried running Windows on a 8086 box way back when. Skipped
AutoUpdate and downloaded from the mirror, and everything seems to be fine.
Thanks for the help.
