When you use Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1) to view a MIME type file attachment that is handled by a custom ActiveX control, it may take a long time to view the file, particularly if the file is very large. This behavior is different from what you experience in Internet Explorer 6.0 and earlier in the same scenario. Internet Explorer 6.0 and earlier versions create an instance of the ActiveX control before the file is downloaded to the cache. However, in Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1, the file is downloaded to the cache immediately -- before an instance of the ActiveX control is created. For performance reasons, this behavior is not optimal, particularly when you view large files.

Revolutions will also screen at selected Imax venues, the first time a major Hollywood release has ever premiered concurrently on both 35mm and the large-screen format. According to ber-producer Joel Silver, it wasn't until studio execs saw the success of Reloaded, which had the biggest opening weekend ever for an R-rated movie, grossing $91.8 million, that they gave the go-ahead for the "zero hour" gimmick. "We received such an overwhelming response to Reloaded from audiences around the globe that the Wachowski brothers wanted to give our fans the chance to experience the final piece of the Matrix puzzle at the same time in every major city worldwide," Silver said. "It's an incredibly complex and exciting venture that furthers the Wachowskis' vision and underscores the trilogy's theme of integration."

The Matrix Reloaded has become the highest grossing R-rated film in history, raking in more than $734 million worldwide. The second installment's DVD, including hours of behind-the-scenes footage, a breakdown of the freeway chase, interviews with the cast and crew and a featurette on the making of The Animatrix, hits stores on October 14. And given Revolutions supposedly wraps up the fate of Zion and offers the final showdown between Neo and his virus-like nemesis Agent Smith, movie-biz observers say the final Matrix trip will do likely even brisker box office.

is there any way you can be notified about these kind of specific updates that very rarely become available on windows update?

by the way, the download link isnt downloading anything... it just asks if you want to save or open etc and then hangs...

if you look at the KB article, it says

After you install this hotfix, the controls that handle the download must set the following DWORD value in the registry to a binary value of 1 under the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT<clsid of the MIME type viewer>NeedProgressiveDownload

so I don't think this fix is going to do anything at all, without control makers actually doing something.
