Windows 3.5 is built into Windows 8 (but disabled by default,) go to 'Turn Windows features on or off' and activate it
Or use DISM to do it offline . Spoiler Code: dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:X:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess where 'X' is the mounted ISO or DVD.

yes is possible or why not create a dropbox account for each list of updates? each account has 10GB of transfer per day.
Yes, but dropbox will temporarily lock that account due to excessive downloading. I've had that happen to me once, which was annoying but understandable.
A file server but when you click on the files it links to the Microsoft server for the updates (and downloads the archive) instead. For updates no longer on the server, then you can link that to a dropbox site. Not ideal, but would mean very low server bandwidth required.
That's what I do with my update lists for WUD sometimes, but I'm still very careful in case my account does get restricted again. Just wish I could afford my own little file server
Still in the works, it is a job for me this weekend . It is changed a little bit as the WU satisfaction system is changed over to the Microsoft Express cab method. Basically it's a better way to deal with WU satisfaction updates.
