I use the same mirror! And it work on XP pro perfectly. I also believe 
that this haven't anything with OS. For example, yesterday my system 
administrator change OS in my office machine from XP pro to 2003 Server. 
After then I installed my old MikTeX 2.3 local repository. After 
compilation I have similar problems with miktex-misc. I fixed the 
problem with synchronize function in MikTeX Package Manager 
(Repository/synchronize)  and then with update to the latest version of 
the MikTeX. Now all work fine also with on-the-fly package installation 
of missing packages.
