    hi i am willing to downgrade to windows xp
    since i only have the sp2 disc i will have to get sp3 and use nlite ....
    anyway i have tried to get it from windows update but i had to go through one million steps including updating my pc wich will take for ever with my download speed ( 8kb/s)
    so i want to know if there's any other link available to get sp3 update , please let it be a direct link so i can resume in case of connection problem

    You can download the standalone installer here. Direct link, here.

    It's going to take a long time with your internet connection though. The standalone installer is significantly larger than the one from windows update. I believe the windows update one is only about 70MB (as best I recall), while this is 316.4 MB.
