    I need a 3rd party Windows Update downloader that can download updates to a location OTHER than "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistributation\Download" . My drive C gets full all the time, so I need my updates to be separate stored on a different drive. Which updaters would you recommend? I tried Windows Update MiniTool, but it definitely downloads updates only to "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistributation\Download" . What other 3rd part / external Windows Update downloaders are?

    Create a symbolic link from that folder to another disk?

    When you master the power of the symbolic links, you master the whole universe.

    You can download and convert an esd from my sig to iso and use it on a dvd/usb, you can dowload via techbench and use that iso on a dvd/usb.
