Hi all,

Is there a decent mirror of the various drivers for Gigabyte motherboards?

I have used Gigabytes website on many occasions and the performance of ALL of their mirrors is nothing short of apalling. It often adds an HOUR to a reinstallation of windows by taking absolutely AGES for me to download the drivers. I am as we speak downloading a 2Mb chipset driver file from their Europe mirror at a staggering 457 bytes/second. I dread to think how much hassle getting the Audio drivers will be as they are 30 megs.

It's always been this crap, ever since I got the board in Feb.
 
Yeah I tend to download direct from the other places, like Realtek / Intel / Jmicron for the drivers, although if you wanted to download the ones from Gigabyte you could try a download manager such as "DAP" (Download Accelerator Plus I think it's called) which makes 5 or so threads for the same file and you tend to get much better speeds.
