Problem downloading XP SP3 for another system.

Can't download Microsoft XP SP3 for another computer.  How do I do this on a system that has it already?  I just want to put it in a folder and copy it onto my other machine.  Everytime I try to download it I get an error message when saving to disk.  I can't connect the machine I want the SP3 on to the internet without SP3 according to Comcast.

The machine I'm trying to update had a hard drive crash, and I installed a new HDD, reinstalled the Dell XP SP2, and reinstalled the Dell drivers.  The cable high speed internet no longer allows manual config of the networking due to dynamic IP.  I can't connect that computer to the internet to download the SP3, so I need to download it on another computer and copy it over.  However, I can't get the download to save to disk, probably because the machine I'm attempting it on already has SP3 on it.

You should be able to download the standalone file from any computer:

Probably just down for a few minutes when you happened to be on it :)

I tried that site link before, but it did not work.  I tried it again now, and it worked.  Thanks!
