One of the biggest downloads is Windows XP Service Pack 1. It can be a huge
file and hours of download on a slow connection. I downloaded the manual
installation of this service pack and put it on CD. It save a lot of
updating time. I agree though that they should really make an update CD and
even when releasing new packages include the updates in them.
It can be found at

Why Windows is a Security Nightmare http://www.techuser.net/index.php?id=47
"I am not saying Microsoft should not do what is doing, but it should focus on
the more important things first. For the short term the correct approach is to
fix Windows Update so that users aren't forced to connect to a network to get
security updates. Windows update should encourage users to create a Windows
Update CD that contains all the security updates the user has downloaded so
far. The CD should contain a setup routine that is capable of installing all
the updates in an automated fashion without requiring user intervention.
Inevitably, when the user downgrades he/she can use that CD to update the
system, and then connect to a network to download any further updates. Such a
CD should be shareable amongst users, so that if someone doesn't have an update
CD, he/she can simply get one from a friend or an acquaintance."
