it's near the bottom of the page.
its a network problem maybe some settings make the update not to reach your computer consult your system admin about the update for your windows
If it tells you what to download but it does not work when you try to download the updates, click more info on the update and click download.
You can download it on to your computer and install it.
I do that for microsoft office updated because other wise it takes ages
