Help trying to download updates

[Tagalong]

For several months and a bunch of attempts, each time I try to update the process stops and I see the words "Bad Checksum" where the update file was and I'm unable to download the file.
I'm using Windows XP, Spybot S&D v1.3
Any info will be appreciated,
Thanks

"Bad Checksum" problems are usually caused by overloaded download servers.

To change download servers and for a workaround for "Bad Checksum" errors please see:

Note: The download server can be changed after the "Search for Updates" and before clicking "Download Updates". So if you find a server that works well, you can start by using that server in the future. Also note that if you want (not necessarily recommended) you can select a server and then right on the button and "Set this server as the preferred download location". If you do that Spybot will select that sever rather than a random server for future updates.
