The URL posted (see below) in an earlier post is not the correct download.
The following is from an MVP in the Windows XP newsgroup;

INCORRECT DOWNLOAD:

Hi

I don't what that site is, but the file size is wrong - and none of
the downloads that I know of have a .PSF extension.

Hi

The only two official downloads are via the Beta site or MSDN.

Do you need to download it if you have all the current updates?

The only way to download it is from the "official" site's (MSDN and
www.beta.microsoft.com).

If you have access to either of these site's then yes, it's probably best to
download them, if not, you'll need to wait until the "official non-beta"
release.

No, there never is need to download a MS beta service pack.
It is meant to get feedback from people who know very well how to handle
problems.

Wait for the official one and then maybe wait even a bit longer.
Because that one will still have some problems and you may need the
feedback.

Steve & group, that was my fault. I downloaded the Express install
(xpsp2-express.exe) onto my computer; ran it & it pointed my flashget
to that second location to bulk dl the rest. I posted the other link
afterwards. It does work though, as I have my xpsp1 now running sp2.
So far, there are no glitches.
