Hi,
I think this is a bug. Many sp3 users are facing this problem.
Here's the fix for it :
Firsty, Stop the Automatic Updates service by
Go to Start - Run - type services.msc - Press [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates - then Click on Stop
Then Delete the contents of the Download folder by
Go to Start - Run - type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution - Press [OK]
Open the Download folder and delete its contents
Close the window.
Then Go to Windows Update website - Select CUSTOM and allow the scan to complete - Uncheck/deselect KB899589 and hide it ("Don't show me this update again").
Lastly, Start the Automatic Updates service:
Go to Start - Run - type - services.msc - Press [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates - Click on Start
(This will start your service after some moment)

Hello. I too have the same problem with this update. I can not download it but I think it is a problem of Microsoft (it will be buggy?) Or perhaps not intended for us ..
