How do I know if SP2 is downloading

[seoulguy]

My auto is OFF. When the last notice balloon came up, I said 'download'. Is
it downloading SP2, or not? How do I know if it's downloading, will I get a
message to or not to install? I'm not sure I want it.

Greetings. I read your message. After Auto Download detects SP2, it can take
up to a few days before it actually starts to download. This is sue to
limiting the ammount of users whom can download it at a time to reduce a
bandwith overload. If you do not want to wait that long for it to download,
add to your MSN messenger and I can send you the actual
SP2 file. It cannot be found on the Microsoft site. I can send you the file
over a DSL connection (266MB in size). You may also downlaod SP2 from
SoftPedia at:
http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/13/9/13-9-177.shtml
Click on Download and it will start. If it doesn't they have a "click
here"link which will link you to a few mirror sites where you can get the
file. Please be aware it can take up to 900MB after the installation. Also,
please let me know how you got along at or at my
website at http://www3.pei.sympatico.ca/dawsonj2 . I look forward to hearing
from you.

You'll see a progress indicator. But if you're not sure you want it,
why download it?
