software update server URL is usually

http://servername.example.com:8088


":portToUse/content/downloads/59/15/041-4642/b2SxP BhKXY6H8jzLk9xXPszPhTvcYNsBPK/041-4642.English.dist:"


: is for a port number not a file location which it looks like you have.

Looks like someone has tried to specify one of the individual SUS update files


the server default location for storing SUS updates is /var/db/swupd/


check your SUS mgm and profile manager settings if your managing clients
