I have had problems downloading sps if they are using update. Since then I have just downloaded the whole sp and have had no problems. Here is a link to download the entire sp.

I actually wouldn't worry about it. SP3 is having some file sharing problems when networked, so SP4 is coming very soon. I would just wait for SP4, since 3 has been more of a pain than a help.
