I feel safer downloading Apple's updates from their web site support tab. I like to see the whole package with a healthy looking icon on my desktop. Then I can open it and read about any options and do the update offline at my leisure some time later. Also, I have the package on hand to archive for possible use later. You are on dial-up. Noisy line? Maybe a glitch in the signal during your online download/update process.
