  bought 2 varbook computers cell phones of our elementary for her grandchildren when they are home, I installed XP but I am unable to download SP - 1, the server keeps timing out.how can I download it to my computer it can install on the varbooks?

  Jump SP1a and go directly to the SP2:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=28

  The link for SP1a is for quick installation, which requires an internet connection on the computer that you are using it (it looks like DirectX Web install). You can go directly to SP2 without first having the SP1 (or 1A). Copy the file to a CD or a flash drive, and then copy it from there to your target PC and run it. Then, you can download and install SP3:
