Autoupdate downloading fails to complete

TJM39

Recently the download process for autoupdate frequently gets "stuck" -- the down arrow in the shield continues forever and the display window (Show AutoUpdate Window) displays "Downloading".  This has happened both on my iMac and on my wife's Mac Mini. The problem can be solved by re-starting the machine - the next update succeeds. 

iMac OS X 10.7.5

Mac Mini OS X 10.3.3

    guys, try this: with the auto update window up, go into activity monitor and force quit the auto update daemon.  for me, it said "cancelling" and then showed the last updated time, which was current. so, it *is* running, but it seems to be an issue with the auto update process terminating once it's completed the update. it may be nothing, but it's something more than we had yesterday. FWIW.

    *update* the process immediately restarted but this time updated and quit properly. probably won't stick, but FYI.
