    Anyone getting ludicrously slow downloads in System Update 3? I'm running it for the first time on my X61 with Vista Business and it takes 15-20 minutes to download the 1.8 MB package information file. It looks like it freezes up completely when I start downloading the actual updates. I've tried uninstalling, rebooting and downloading System Update 3 again from Lenovo but the same thing happens. Any clues?

    I´m having the same problem with my X60, it took me several hours to download updates on approx 130mb. And I have a 10Mb internetconnection. Also the install we´re painfully slow. I have disabled TPM, can this have anything to do with it?

    I tried it again today and it seems to be working fine. Perhaps a temporary problem with the IBM servers.
