Well it is solved.  Seems the full moon was the issue.  Well actually 
bad hardware.  A very old hub (so old it had a coax connector) was 
going/gone bad.  This along with trying to do an application update from 
a web page (http -> run) on a very slow connection.

Took the hub out of the loop, downloaded the update to the desktop, then 
applied it.  No more errors.
