I it has been appeaing here and there once in a while but usually if i go to the update site after about 2 hours - it's back to normal.
When i see that "thank you" page and look at google's cache of windowsupdate.microsoft.com, google's cache also has that "thank you" page so that's how i found out that i'm not the only one seeing this thank you page. Google did too at one point.
I would gess that they are having technical difficulties... no big deal.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7751756 Fri, 22 Aug 2003 01:18:43 EDT Re: Window's Update http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7751489 Maxeh : the way i posted worked for me when i was updatin my school a few days ago :) and had the thanks screen come up]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7751489 Fri, 22 Aug 2003 00:42:17 EDT Re: Window's Update http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7747500 dp : I guess I have been fortunate as I've not experienced any troubles getting to or using the site.

Just remove the https//v4.

leaving windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

This worked for me!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7747250 Thu, 21 Aug 2003 17:26:41 EDT Re: Window's Update http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7747187 LC8290 : The "thanks" screen has appeared again. But now as I write this it came back online. weird..

It seems MS is using akamai to handle some services. This may resolve some user's problems.

I solved it by resolving download.windowsupdate.com to 208.172.158.234 in my hosts file (MSoft switched a lot of domains around and a lot of DNS still haven't caught up).

Can someone post the numerical IP address that v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com is located at presently??

My DNS server gives me "Unknown Hosts" as the address! :( No wonder I can't reach it!

You really need to reach it with domain names.
Did you try windowsupdate.microsoft.com ?
Have you tried disabling the hosts file ?
Microsoft uses akamai a lot these days...

we'd suddenly started having trouble with WU about a week ago, and quite a few friends have reported serious problems in the last week as well, though the form the problems take seem to differ. something is definitely not right there.
