The reason that they show 0 bytes to download is that Automatic Updates has
actually already downloaded the bits to your computer but has not yet
installed them. AU will install on shuddown, at the scheduled time
(typically 3am) or if you click on the pop-up bubble that says updates are
ready to install.

Windows Update site is aware that AU has downloaded the updates, so when you
tell it to install it uses the already-downloaded versions, so it shows 0
bytes.

hope this helps.
