WSUS Download Failure on KB829019

My WSUS server has failed to download "Update for Windows XP Media Center
Edition 2005 (KB829019)". This is the first time it has failed to download
anything. I have Retried the download sever times. Here is the log from
the server. Any help would be appreciated.

The most likely culprit is a proxy server stripping the content headers.

If you can bypass the proxy server, that would be a good solution.

Thanks for the help Lawrence. It turned out to be a new firewall that they
didn't tell me about. All is well now.
