SupaStar...Your link talked only about SP 1a which, having read it was not terribly important if one had SP 1, I never downloaded.

But the message I asked about in my question came when it was taking forever to download SP 1 as the server was so damned busy. Do the SP 1a options for installation of SP 1a also aply to SP 1? I'm all set at the moment--SP 1 is installed but if I ever have to do it again, I want to do it faster than in 1 hour.

Also (and I am on a local broadband network...my ISP provider) so I guess I could download the network installation using another computer on the same network. But where IS the network installation file--does it show up when one tries to download-- and what does it mean " download it to a network share"?
