The only thing you can do is try another one: When you Press the search for updates button, you can see a tiny arrow pointing down. Press that, and a list will come up. You can then choose where to download the updates from. I start with the top one and work my way down. Its very annoying, but apart from that, theres nothing you can do.
Yes I have seen this from time to time. I expect the SpyBot server is busy. Sometimes the download just stays displaying the "flying folders" for ever, I press cancell with no action. So I just do another search for downloads, this seems to make it recover then tick the boxes to download, and try again.
It is a very helpful free piece of software, it's great people/companies make/do things like this.
