OS X 10.5.6 at the moment. I get the following error if I try to update using software update:



I can update other software, like iTunes, fine.

Softwar Update says the update is 286MB in size, I can only find the 442MB delta update and the 729MB combo update on the internet.

Software Update gets a delta tailored to your machine. Anyone of the three options will work, though some people prefer to use the combo. I usually let Software Update do its thing, then keep a combo updater "just in case".
 
Run the combo update. It will do no harm and may fix your SU issue.
 
Looks like I'm going to have to do the 442MB update.

I was just hesitant, since in Australia, our ISPs have ridiculous bandwidth quotas.

Thanks for your advice.
