Office Update stops at 40% download

[Paul]

Hello

When I see if there is any current Office Updates it stops downloading at
40% and states the site is having technical difficulties but this happens
everytime and actually I have never been able to see a proper download of any
updates.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

unexpectedly after you click "Check for Updates" on the Office Update
Web site".
