Copying and Enabling Selected Updates from Apple Still Copies ALL Updates

Hello,
On the attempt to become a bit more independent from outside servers (e.g. e-mail, web, file sharing), I bought Mac OS X 10.6 Server.
Being new to server and while my current Internet setup does not allow me to do much from the outside, I at least played a bit around to see how things are to work and also came across the Software Update service. As it is stated, this service is to preserve bandwidth by downloading the updates available from Apple.
Now, according to the built-in help one can select to disable "Copy all (new) update from Apple" in order to only enable selected updates. However, this still downloads ALL available updates on my hard drive including stuff for items I do not own, possess or have access to (e.g. Xsan, Mac OS X 10.4.11 update).
How is that preserving bandwidth then?!?
What is the "Copy all (new) update from Apple" feature for, if when disabled it still downloads everything once you click the "Copy Now" button?!? Once downloaded, I do not mind if unnecessary items are enabled or not in the end, but I do mind the bandwidth and storage usage for such items in the first place.
Is there a way to only download certain, selected updates? I can enable them manually, if I have to.
Thanks to anyone trying to help!

Hacking an iPhone to unlock it or for any other reason is against Apple's license agreement for the iPhone, is not supported by Apple directly or indirectly via these discussions, and voids the warranty.
Installing a firmware update on an iPhone that has been hacked to be unlocked re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with - in this case with AT&T. If the hack that was used to unlock your iPhone has not been updated to be compatible with firmware update 3.0, which also changes the baseband, you are in trouble.
No one here will be able to provide you any help since as I already provided, hacking an iPhone is against Apple's license agreement for the iPhone and these discussions are provided and moderated by Apple.
