I've just put up a post on http://moneymvps.org with some instructions on how to create a self contained installation of Money 2005 onto CD, so you never need to rely on the Microsoft servers to deliver the patch update again. This fix can be read in FAQ Article 630.
Credit is to Jean-Paul in the French money newsgroup who came up with the solution. I've had feedback that it works on all language versions of Money 2005.
It is probably not legal to share the files that are required from a patched version. You may need to wait until Microsoft sorts out the problem with downloading before performing these instructions.

Updating Money 2005 - Service Outage
I've been informed that currently upgrading Money 2005 from its 'out of the box' version to the patched version (from version 14.0.x.0730 to version 14.0.x.1105) is currently experiencing problems, and so these upgrades don't currently work.
Microsoft is working on the problem. In the meantime you'll probably not be able to open your Money file if you've just done a clean install and need to use an existing file.
As far as I know, it is affecting all regions.
Update: 14 May - I'm hearing that the fix should be ready later in the week, however this is not guaranteed.
16 May: Hearing this morning that things seem to be working again
