Exclamation Windows Update - 'Install Unsuccessful'

Have you ever gotten this message when going throught the WinXP Update site? Splashed across the top of the screen was 'Installation Unsuccessful', and in red letters it listed the individual updates that did not take. A bit unnerving.

I guess the download was interrupted, as when I tried it again, it only had a few KB to finish downloading and it worked fine. Ah well, just wondering if anyone else had gotten this scare before.

I've had it before too. Not as serious on cable tho. The download or install seems to pick up where it left off so things go fast.
