On the Office product I referred to, there was no way to download it to any
destination. The only option was 'install'.

Thanks.... I found that one after I sent you my email. Will give it a try,
as the SP3 upgrade download from MS is the only one that I have ever had a
problem with.

Check that you have enough space in System Restore. It may be necessary
to remove restore points by ticking (checking) "Turn off system restore"
and rebooting, then turn it back on again. SP3 automatically creates a
back up prior to install.
Do you have SpywareBlaster installed? I found I had to disable
protection before SP3 would download correctly. I also disabled
immunisation in Spybot S&D
Should download OK now.
Also, turn off AV before install.
Obviously you need to remember to enable everything again after a couple
of reboots.

I have plenty of System Restore space, as I delete all old restore points
about every two weeks. However, I do have Spy Blaster and SpyBot S&D
installed, but not loaded at time of download.
I installed Free Download Manager, as recommended by Colin and it worked
fine with no problems.
Thanks
