Ignore Software Update and manually DL the updates from http://support.apple.com/downloads/
my download from this site gets stuck at 161MB, no problems downloading from other sites...whats happening?
(50mbit fiber connection)
Some blog posts are reporting that Apple's servers are getting slammed right now because of the free beta software of OSX iMessage that was dropped today. Give it some time and try again later.
ahh ok thanks, but its weird it just stops at 161mb, i have tried it 5 times this week....and because its the same on my mac mini and imac i thought it might be an issue on my side....

Huh? New server farm in North Carolina, which supposedly can handle all the cloudy stuff must not be getting enough sunshine to keep it powered up. Hooray for the future of clouds and other nonsense.
still no luck....
still nothing, must be my system, any tips?
Have you tried the manual download from http://support.apple.com/downloads/?
yes, it stalls at 179mb
Then, all I can suggest is call AppleCare, try someone else's ISP, or visit an Apple Store and have them DL it.
ok, thanks for the support so far!
Contacted apple care:the reason its not working is because the update is not available anymore because of the problems with the update, the combo update is for fixing updates with the original 10.7.3 update. A new one, 10.7.4 will be released shortly that will correct it.
Reinstalled osx and everything works fine now, so it must be some setting in osx that doesnt work with the 10.7.3 update. My server still wont install the patch
Oh, and on my imac i forgot to backup my iphoto folder and lost all my picutres.....stupid me but also apple for not making an good functioning update.
with my server i waited until the 10.7.4 update but it still wont download, it stopt at 178mb. So i think i have to reinstall osc on my server also 😕
Talking to myself here :-) if anyone encounters the same problem, i found the solution: for some reason the internet pvr app sickbeard was causing all the problems, removing it made the update possible. Maybe something todo with the settings this python script uses for booting....
