Hi,

You would need to set up another SUS server at the location where you
have a faster Internet connection.

When this faster-Internet-connected SUS server have downloaded all
the updates from the Internet, you can copy the SUS content
of this server (using some form of removable media e.g. CD-ROM
or DVD) to the other SUS server.

That would be the "Manually-Configured Content Distribution Point" part of the
chapter "Synchronizing Content With Another Server Running Software Update
Services or Manually-Configured Content Distribution Point" in
SUS_Deployguide_sp1.doc if I am not mistaken.

Note that it is a error in the documentation:

Here is another way it looks like:

Fyi, there is a separate newsgroup for SUS:

microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs
