Microsoft Update site with problems...
Yesterday I've tryed to download the latest patches from Microsoft Update, but some problems during the download phases occurs me. I was disappointed...
Today I've discovered on ZDNet that in these days traffic to Microsoft's Windows Update site spiked higher than seen during any previous update, reaching an incredible download rate of more then 50GB per second. Past patches have resulted in 2 million people visiting Microsoft's Windows Update site every hour to download fixes. This time, between 3 million and 4 million users came to the site. As a result, many customers found that the scan didn't work properly and they were not able to download the latest patches.
It's really a big amount of traffic. I think it's the first time that MS Servers have this type of problems. Maybe a signal to improve the system?
The patches mania has started...
