Try this:
Open Spybot, click 'Search for Updates'. Once Spybot showed the items (detection updates), click the drop-down arrow for the mirror where you will download the updates. Select either EON (Australia) or USA. Make sure that the box before the new update detection has a check then click 'Download updates' button. If still hanging, try another download mirror or server.
