Hi Cal Bear '66

Thanks for the heads up. Is it my imagination, or is Realtek's download the
most incredibly snail paced thing out there.

I'm currently d/l R176 from Site 1 and seeing a Transfer rate of approx 6.5
KB/Sec & estimated time left ~ 25 min (woops it's gone up to 6.75 and s l o
w l y rising). The other sites aren't any quicker either.

In contrast I was seeing 250+KB/Sec from nVidia.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely
foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

Oh yeah, the Realtek site is generally fairly slow, but today, it is ridiculous.
The download even timed out my first two tries this morning.
