I recommend that you use a good FTP program to download the combo 
updater.  I like Interarchy, but it is relatively expensive, and I'm sure 
that there are many others that are good too.  

I've found that FTP programs tend to do a better job with difficult 
downloads.  Also, if a download quits, an FTP program will allow you to 
restart the download from where it left off.
