I have windows 7, and for the past few months I am unable to update windows.
Windows update is stuck at downloading 0kb 0% and after viewing all the similar posts around the web regarding this problem I still cant fix it, even after trying everything (stopping and restarting the service, disabling av and firewall, delete softwaredistribute folder and so on...).
Im desperate, please help.

2015-04-16T06:53:06+00:00 Well you were right.
It stayed at 0% with 0kb for a long time and then suddenly it jumped to 53%.
A few minutes later it jumped to 100% and started installing.
Pretty weird how microsoft works with % but hey that is not new ;-)
Anyway problem solved for me :)

2014-09-16T22:17:02+00:00 I removed my failing FusionHDTV PCI-E accessory card and all my problems went away. This was after I had spent several hours installing 108 updates on my new Windows 8 PC three times. I have no idea how the card could have caused this problem and other equally obscure issues. Perhaps Microsoft could do some research.
