I can't get WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER to download & install.

I tried to download & install WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER on my system.  I am running WINDOWS XP (PRO) SP3, and it seems to work normally.  Download appeared initially, but after a FEW MINUTES, the green progress bar showed all 34% - and the download stopped.  I received a message telling me that the download COULD NOT CONTINUE.  (NO ERROR NUMBER, however)  The usual warnings while ensuring that I was connected to the internet, etc., were unnecessary.  I checked WINDOWS firewall settings and they seem to be configured to allow download of WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER will pass through it.  What should I do at this point?
