Software Update not working

Hello

For several weeks Software Update has been timing out saying the servers are busy. This happens in X, 9 and on my two computers.

Has anybody else seen this problem?

Mine has been working fine, on a dialup connection.

No updates though

However, apple.com lists a developer tools update, which does not show up in my Software Update, so maybe mine doesn;t work, or the dev. update isn't done through SU.

The developer update is not on SU.
It is a ~130MB download, and as not everybody uses the tools, it would not make much sense to put it on SU for everybody.
 
Hello,

I needed to get old updates after I reinstalled 9 and X. I was able to get the majority of items. When I finally reinstalled AppleWorks - thats when I noticed the time out. I have had to down load that update, plus the DVD update by hand.

Whether there is anything to download or not - I always get the "servers are busy error." I may call my ISP because both the computers are behaving this way.

Could a firewall, without port blocking, cause a problem?
