I have two WSUS servers: one outside the domain with an internet connection and another WSUS server internally in the domain with access to the online WSUS server. The domain WSUS is in replica mode. Currently, both WSUS servers can see the computers and the updates needed. However, on the Windows 10 client, I have 2 updates in the state "Downloading," but the progress remains at 0%.
In the wsuscontent on the online WSUS, I do not have the files for these updates. I have already executed wsusutil reset, but the issue persists.
Did you run wsusutil reset on BOTH servers? Online first and THEN the downstream.

Yes, I did it in both servers
After you ran it on the upstream server, how long did you wait before running it on the downstream server?
I dont know, maybe 20 minutes. But what I see is that the main wsus (online) doesn't get de update files that are needed
You need to leave 24 HOURS before running it on the downstream. See the page I linked to, last section on how long it takes. There is no progress indicator. In 24 hours, the upstream should have the files. IF NOT... decline the updates, run the server cleanup wizard (SCW), and then re-approve the updates.

Hello,
Delete Download Cache: On the affected clients, you can try deleting the download cache. Stop the Windows Update service, delete the contents of “C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download”, and then start the service again.
You could manually download the problematic updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog and import them into WSUS. This way, you can ensure that the updates are available for clients to install. To do this, search for the updates on the Microsoft Update Catalog website, download the appropriate versions, and then import them through the WSUS console.

The download cache doesn't apply as this is having issues downloading into the WSUS server itself, not the clients.
You can no longer import updates through the WSUS Console, so that information is no longer true.
If you are going to manually import them, use Import-WsusUpdate as it's much easier than Microsoft's way.
I will try that, but what can cause wsus not download the needed updates?
I'm getting this error importing a needed update
