Cannot download Security Update 2013-01. It always aborts. Why?

Every time I run "Software Update", I get one result: Security Update 2013-01. But when I try to download the update, after telling me it will take 12-14 hours, it aborts and says it may be corrupt. Can I get the update on a disk?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

You could try downloading the update directly from Apple's website, outside of Software Update, then applying it. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1642
