This is of course not ideal, but a workaround you can use in the future 
is to take the machine offline. That should prevent the automatic 
retrying.

It's a bit confusing, but that is probably just because the whole 
experience is suboptimal. I think I already have fixed some issues which 
might be related. Therefore I'd like you to try the latest test version: 
Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update 
preferences pane. Then let me know if the problems persist. You can use 
“Help ▸ Send Feedback” since I don't think it's of general 
interest to the list.
